Has anyone ever used the Power Pole Righting System? Is it class legal? Is it just overkill, will a rope system be just as effective for a fraction of the cost? Thanks in advance for any input! -Peter
I use Gary's solo righting system, which I have found works the best. I like Rick Whites power righting system but it didn't seem to work as well as Gary's on my H16. Plus Rick White's righting pole stuck out off the rear cross beam by about 2 feet (yes you could cut it shorter but then it wouldn't be enough leverage to solo right my H16). Also Rick's system you have to drill holes in the front cross beam and Gary's requires no drilling.
No, righting pole systems are not legal during H16 class racing but are legal during non-Hobie races/open regattas/distance races, etc. With Gary's system you still have a rope that is Hobie class legal that is part of the righting pole system, on Rick's system there is not such rope/line available. Righting lines are H16 class legal but poles or righting bags are not.
Cheers.

Miles,
I have received a few emails from you and have replied. However, I have yet to get a response from you that assures me that you have received my replies. Do we have an email problem here?
GARY
I sent you an email and you should of received it a few days ago. Things are picking up on my end and having your system ready for the Trapseat class would be great. I will be putting more comprehesive information about the Solo-righting system you make on the Trapseat sites as soon as I know the H16 system is ready.
I did receive you email so please let me know when your system is ready. Thanks.
Miles,
I did get your email. What I wanted to know is if you have received mine. The last email I sent to you was on Tue, 28 Aug 2001 13:38:08 -0600. It apprears as though you may not be receiving mail from me.
GARY
Yes I did receive the email but not on the date you indicated. It seems there is a delay in all the emails I am getting, I am going to check with my email provide to see what is going on.
By the way do you have a date yet when the H16 solo-righting system will be ready?
