[quote=dmgbear55]This discussion got me busy because I think I will be doing more solo sailing on the 5.2 than I used to do. I also don't have the lightning fast reflexes that I once had, so sorting out answers for a solo righting are going to be very real now.
I looked at Ed's setup and was impressed. Then I saw the bag shown on Ebay and went for it. The bag is well sewn and has a pair of cross straps and a stiff enough rope around the top rim to help hold it open when you are filling it, but not so stiff as to be an issue when storing it and it was a whopping $55. When it arrived I used some seam sealer I had to help it hold water long enough for me to dick around setting it up. Then I dug into my box of misc. stuff and came up with a 3 part block, found some line and an old carabiner. My righting line already has some loops on prussiks that can be slid up and down, so I am thinking I can just clip this doodad into the loop and haul away. So in theory, so far so good.

And the whole thing set me back a total of $55 plus the stuff I already had laying around just waiting for this project.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by dmgbear55 on Jul 08, 2017 - 06:11 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
