Reply to: Finally sailed my P16 in reasonable air - observations and repair questions :)

Message body

2. A single person cannot right a P16 using a righting line, even if the person is 215lbs. However, it would be no sweat with a righting bucket or if I gained about 30 lbs. more (though with my frame that would preclude me being able to get back onto it once it's righted - unless I manage to bulk up 30 lbs of muscle).

I can see that other have answered many of your questions, but I do feel compelled to respond to this...

My 115LB wife could easily right our Prindle 16 by herself in a 10 kt breeze, and I use to single hand sail all thie time in 10 to 15 plus in the ocean..  never once had a problem getting it back up..

I think I was weighing in at 190 LBS when this was taken
