[quote=pknapp66][quote=icon149]That makes me feel a lot better Ed,
The murray's "big bag" kinda threw me off, at 250# capacity i was a little worried that i'd need a pretty big bag to get my 5.8 up out of the water. if you can right your 5.7 with an 8'6" beam, the 5.8 at 8' shouldn't be much more difficult.
Anyone else use a righting bag and what are your experiences/likes dislikes, wishes?
Thanks for the advice.

We also bought a Colorado bag I think from ebay several years ago. Our crew weight is only about #300 and can't quite right the H18 in calm conditions. With the bag over one crews shoulder the boat snaps right over.
The bag seems quite rugged. I have heard stories of some of the bags leaking so bad the water runs right out. This bag seeps some but works great. I have a small block setup from a vang that I am setting up for the Nacra 6.0. Wider beam and mores sail area I think will need it. The bag came with a storage bag with plastic clips to hook to the lacing under the tramp. We had it attached to the under side of the rear lacing on the H18 and first timeout the waves were quite large and ripped the storage bag and one of the clips off. Now we just pack it tightly in a tramp pocket. Could use the storage bag above deck. Overall if you are close to righting weight the
bag is a simple solution.
