[quote=84nacra5.0]As far as the bag goes...I dont have an official "righting bag". I use a watertight bag that I use when i go paddling in the spring time. As physics would have it, bags that keep water out also keep water in when it is in already. My bag holds 35 litres, about 6-7 gallons. At 6 lbs per gallon, thats about an extra 40 lbs. I am just able to right my boat with the 200 lbs that me and my water bag make up combined. It takes a while, and yest it is embarassing having power boats and well weighted sailboats alike passing and offering assistance. However, I am a stubborn individual and feel bad ruining someone else time on the water by forcing them to help me with my mistake, so I rough it. Would have liked to have someone else there with me, but no one else had the gall.[/quote]
