Reply to: Righting Question

Message body

[quote=CatFan57]Okay, thanks, I was able to see the video now.  And thanks also for the diagram of the line system.  That and the video together made it more understandable.

Damn, you got 810 views on the video in just two days.  I didn't imagine so many people are reading and interested in an getting an idea for a righting pole and line system.

Obviously the advantage of your system is you have both the pole and line stored under the tramp rather than creating clutter someplace on the top of the boat.  It also looks nice to have the lines in place already such that you don't really have to deploy lines when you want to use your righting pole.

I'll give it some more thought and decide which system I like better.

I am leaning towards building the one I linked to though, because I like that you can walk backwards out on the pole and put all your weight on it, while having your hands out to the sides balancing yourself on the lines.  I also like that the lines attached to the pole go over the top of the hulls, which I think probably gives the most leverage.  I think/hope storing it across the hulls in front of the front crossbeam should be out of the way enough and not cause any problems.

We'll see, but hopefully it will feel good to always be confident of righting without a problem.  Thanks again!<em>Edited by CatFan57 on May 10, 2023 - 04:42 AM.</em> [/quote]
