Hi, after sailing my Getaway solo, and not being able to right by myself, I started looking at different righting options. A righting bag did not work for me at all.
I saw this great vid of a H18 righting pole, but as Getaways dont have centre board holes i need a new way of holding on to hull.

It has elastic straps which allow it to be stored behind the rear cross beam on top of hulls which can be accessed after capsize.
Simple rope loops tied around front beam and pushed through the gap on front right and left of tramp allow easy mounting of ropes that hold it in place (similar to vid except you can't go over the hulls on a Getaway when you have a front tramp).
There's a bit of rubber mat as well to stop slipping...
Hope this is of interest and someone can improve design. I'll hopefully test when i get out later this year.
