p.s. if I put a righting pole on my boat, am I violating the class rules? "be able to right boat unaided..."


No, unaided in that sentence means aided by another competitor/race official/bystander/etc. It does not preclude the use of a righting bag or righting pole or any other system.

I just bought the small righting bag and have given up on ATRS. I know tback will be happy.

Thanks Tom,
I went out the other day and was messing around and went over with the spin. Not enough wind to get it back and the wind was directly east and not blowing me towards either shore in the intracoastal. Eventually the wind came up and I was able to get it up but it annoyed me so I rigged a pole. Easy to do. Not sure how well it will work yet because I didn't feel like flipping on purpose. Seemed to add leverage when lightly tested on land though.
