[quote=catman42]I have a copy of Rick White's Catamaran Racing for the 90's. Anyone not familiar with it should take a look at it. Great book. Anyway, on the subject of righting lines, he states "Simple is often best, all you really need is a line that is easily held and tied to the center of the main beam. It must be long enough to be thrown over the hull and reach to the water."
So my first question is, on a Hobie 16, what is the main beam?
My other question is, when single handed righting a Hobie 16, what is the best position to be standing on the hull for the best leverage? I have read that you should be at the "deepest" part of the hull which would be somewhat close to the center of the tramp area, and I have also read you should be in line with the mast. Which is correct?
Would appreciate any thoughts on this subject. Thanks.[/quote]
