Does any one have any info that they could give me on a power pole righting system, and how they work for single hand righting.

I haven't checked it out, but others have said it is no longer made.

A friend of mine offered to sell me one that came with his new F18 (not class legal for racing). I installed it to test on my H16 but could not get the boat to right by myself. I weigh 200 lbs. It worked fine with two people but it is a lot more expensive and cumbersome than a simple righting line. I didn't buy it.

ya the length may be kinda long but I'm not in an area eher racing is big and if there is wind i can fly that hull.

I'm just a thrill seeking sailor, if i flip i want that boat up right as fast as i can, so i can do it again.

My friend would still like to sell his power pole system. I'm pretty sure he would let it go for 50% of the retail price plus shipping. Email me if you are interested.
