I righting pole as made popular by Rick White and Murrays Marine is not intended to be a salvation to single-handers.
It is meant to be easier to hold on to and use than a stretch righting system. If you are looking for a good system to try, give shroud extenders a chance. Use the weight of the boat to your advantage.
Or you could go with a proven method for single handers. The
Solo-Right is proven to work on anything from a H16 to a Hobie21SE.
