[quote=Edchris177][quote]On another note, How big of a righting bag should i have (180lb very athletic male) to right a 5.8 solo?[/quote]
I think 150lb is overkill. You would need a 4:1 or so to handle it.
I weight 170lb, & use a Colorado Bag Co "Big Bag". It is 80lb, & that is enough to right a 5.7 on a calm day.The more wind, the less you need.
The trick is to hoist the bag right up to your shoulder, so when you hike out horizontally, the entire weight of the bag is helping right the boat.
I use a 3:1, it makes hoisting the bag easy. I don't use the "hook". That end is secured to the bag, the other end to the appropriate place on the righting line. Don't forget, you need the cleat.
