I do not have a Soloright, but I have seen the pics on the website while it was still up... IIRC the soloright is basically an oar that the inventer reinforced with some composit material (carbon or glass fiber)one side of the oar (the paddel shaped end) will be placed in the lip (with lip I refere to the lip that for example accomedates the stainlesssteel rod that holds the shrouds) on the inside of an hobie hull (the lower hull). The other end of the oar is suspended by two lines (halyard type) to the pylons of the upper hull. The user is expected to step outwards on the oar while holding on to the line of a traditional rightning system. The oar could be replaced by some kind of pole stiff enough to support 200 lb. The oar idea was kind of nice since it also functioned as a paddel (an unfortunately long paddel).
