im a teen sailor, and ive been sailing hobies for about a year now. i weight about 140 pounds and have been ending up flipping alittle latly. i failed to right the boat by myself untill a jetskis help. i was wondering if anywone knew any affective righting systems to help with my lighter weight.

Been there, done that, I feel your pain. Check out Murray's Marine at http://www.murrays.com/ They offer several different righting systems for single-handed sailors. I've never used one so I can't recommend one over the other.

In my opinion, a righting bag is the easiest to set up and use. You will have to practice before needing to use it out in open water, but it is easier to set up than a righting pole.
