Reply to: Righting technique

[quote=rattlenhum]I agree. Particularly if there's a significant difference in skipper vs. crew weight, it's hard to keep the boat balanced fore/aft, and you're likely to fall of if it see-saws (especially when the hulls are nicely polished!). This just leads to more fatigue/frustration, making the operation even more difficult. I use a single righting line that's thrown over the skyward hull at the front beam with the lighter person "stacked" above the heavier one. It's very stable, but you need to coordinate "climbing" the line as the boat comes up. This method also leaves you under the boat right at the dolphin striker (which you need to grab quickly to prevent the boat from capsizing in the other direction under certain conditions).<!-- editby --><em>Edited by rattlenhum on Aug 27, 2017 - 11:55 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
