[quote=bradinjax]I added hyfield levers to my Stiletto 27 after consulting with Tom Haberman @ ARC. I have never had to use the levers solo but for practice I used the main halyard to pull the boat over in shallow water to test the righting process.
You only have to do the upper lever. As mentioned above, pull the pin and activate the lever to release the stay tension on the upper shroud. My boat was well balanced at this point and just a little weight on the end of the centerboard righted her very quickly. I have righted H16s and H18s hundreds of times. Righting a 1200lb 27 foot beach cat using hyfield levers was easier.
I have seen a video of a Dragonfly getting righted using hyfield levers as well as a Gougeon 32. I will try to find them.
