[quote=philzy]jfricker: I have a Prindle 16 and I use the same righting line setup as quarath shows. I am UNABLE to right the boat by pulling the rope under the hull! I find that tossing it over the top of the hull provides a little extra angle. Anything helps! It's easy to rig underneath the trampoline and leave a knot in a circle that you can use around your wrist or just a better grip.
I have not used a righting back, basically I have not wanted to buy one. But I weigh 175 and I think that the added weight of a righting back over my shoulder combined with the rope over the top of the hull would pop the boat right up.
I keep a large "water tight" bag tucked into one of my tramp pockets, (it also works as a sail bag for my jib during storage) and I think I'll grab for that to use as a righting bag if my body weight isn't enough next time.[/quote]
