"One of the ways that you can right a capsized raft is to swim toward it, climb up onto the raft and then flip it over using your paddle or a flip-line. The hardest part is getting up onto the raft. With self-bailers that’s a little easier because the drain holes on the sides you can use to help pull yourself up onto the raft. Once you’re up there, you tuck the t-grip of the paddle under the raft, check the line and then lean back and flip it over. Once you have the raft right side up, then the guides use the handles on the sides of the raft to push themselves back up into the raft and then help any struggling guests or crewmembers get back into the raft and then you can paddle on downstream. So this maneuver can be done on the fly as you work your way downstream and is a common and effective method of righting a capsized raft on a larger volume river where swimming to shore really isn’t an option.
