Ye of little faith.

Perhaps I should qualify that. The boats do of course touch when the swimmer is getting back in. They just don't have to touch during the emptying phase.

I have performed this no touching manoeuvre often enough, usually in conditions that have caused a capsize in the first place. You just have to yank the swamped boat diagonally upward.

I find it is possible, with most boats, to empty almost all the water as a swimmer, by just heaving the bow up and letting it flip upright as it comes down.

I do not have video of the process, but I have seen it on youtube before.
