Speaking of righting aids one thing I did recently was to get rid of the thin righting line that nests under the tramp and replace it with a nice fat line that I keep in the tramp bag to be thrown over the hull when capsized. I couldn't grip the small line and that led to problems when my height was not right. With the fat line I can grab it easily and climb up or down as needed to keep my body out of the water. Used it last week and it was great. My 2 cents. Ed
Agree with you on that, but I kept losing stuff out of my tramp bag when I'd pull the fat line out ... decided that the under tramp method was sufficient. (I did have sewn into my tramp bag a small pouch for my trash bags for easy access).
