No Valtteri,

The rules only stipulate that each F16 boat must be fitted with a righting system that allows the crew sailing the boat in a sanctioned F16 event to right it in all conditions unaided.

You are constantly refusing to look at the righting alternatives. Which are righting poles , righting bags, shroud extenders, Gary's solo right system and several other setups.

A righting bag is the most simple and cheap alternative that will work for very lightweight solo crews on the F16. That system alone has several different setups.

The use of the single righting line is only one way to right a boat. One that will actually work for your 75 kg for winds above what ? 10 knots. So you only need to use an alternative system like the bag for the times you flip the boat in light winds days ?

I think you have a point where the mast is heavier then it really should be, and we are working on that, but for the remainer, aren't you a little bit over critical ?
