My friend use to race Hobie 18 and told me how to
right my 21 with ease.....
All great in theory, but I highly recommend you try this out in a safe, controlled environment, before you accept it as truth. Even then, it's still not a guarantee. Lots of righting methods seem like a good idea on paper, but don't work for squat in practice. A Hobie 21 is a heck of a lot of boat for one person to try to pull over themself, even with the use of shroud extenders (which have their own set of issues as well).
The 21 was never intended to be a singlehander (by a longshot). It was originally intended as a 2 or 3 person boat. About the only guaranteed righting method is to add more crew weight (although even that will fail if your mast fills with water).
