On the ground is a lot easier than in a little water. Glad to know you can knock the pole back as the boat begins to right. would hate to stick the pole into the mud and then force it through the tramp or something. Next time I see you we will have to give it a try or at least get a good look at the rig.
BTW. I have righted a N5.8 by standing on the high hull and hooking into a lengthened trap wire at 150# (yes it was a long time ago) -----Original Message----- From: Lee Board [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 22, 2004 2:53 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [beachcats] Re: Questions: Righting alone/8" h20 Rob, I ain't gonna say, but I'm not a small girl. And yes I can right the boat alone. The thing about a righting pole is that it takes less weight to right because you have a longer lever arm in operation. And to answer your question, Marc... Don't you recall the second time I broke my halyard there on the TCD beach? And we flipped the Sq over there on the beach to tie the sail up? And we got little, bitty, teeny, Kathy to haul the sq back on her feet? Like that. I think it's way easier to right in shallow water - the thing is to be ready to knock the pole back under the boat instead of letting it dangle, but since you can stand in 8" of water, that's not a problem, yes? sea ya tami --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], "Rob Vaden" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Tami, > I know I'm breaking etiquete here... but how much do you weigh? > Have you been able to right your boat solo? > > -Rob > > Group Home http://www.TheBeachcats.com Yahoo!
