[quote=Prindle Owners Manual]"If you are single-handing your boat, carry your jib bag on board. Grab onto the righting line, scoop up a bag of water and hold it over your shoulder while leaning back."[/quote]
It took me a minute to figure out what "jib bag" even meant. I think this was "over optimistic" language on Prindles part for the manual. Although if you were right on the edge of being able to right, then whatever extra weight you could scoop up in the "bag that you store your jib in" would probably help. Wouldn't have to be 100 pounds, and probably wouldn't, unless you were built like Robbie Daniel.
I've never used a water bag or seen one used, if someone could either draw a diagram or take photos of deployment that would be great.
Capsizing the boat on a grassy lawn and getting everything in position is an easy way to take that sort of pictures for demo.
