[quote=MN3]If you didn't turtle, and you didn't think you would... why get a float?
a float isn't going to make it easier to right the cat.. just prevent it from turtle (right?)
It is my understanding that it will actually add weight, and make it harder to right it with the added weight.
Were you bows into the wind?
where you anchored?
was your boom uncleated
was your jib centered?
these are all the steps i need to do when righting.. and its alot to remember and get all set.. esp for the first dozen times.
if all those things weren't in place, then you don't know you cant right it solo (ps big air usually helps if you have the boat set up right ... but will hinder in the wrong setup
I think a righting bag is the way to go.... but have never tried a pole. they look nice, but i dont want the weight, hardware and i don't think they will give me the added leverage i need solo... so i carry 2 bags (i have a fat cat)<!-- editby --><em>edited by: andrewscott, Sep 07, 2010 - 04:47 PM</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
