I did right my 5.0 with the self-made solo right I mentioned. I spent some time deploying it (I have to make some changes) but as soon as I was near the end of the 5 feet pole, the ship came on her two hulls immediately. My pole is very rudimentary and it's not easy to keep it in place before you step on it but i'm going to attach a sort of v-shaped craddle which will make deploying much easier. I can't thank Gary enough for his great idea. I think solo sailors do owe him a lot.

Thanks for the warning Andrew
