Quick confession - i've knowingly been violating the F16 class rules - I cannot self right USA#300. At 148lbs. i require atleast double digit breeze to assist my recovery from capsize. I've often thought , while practicing alone , "damn , this is really irresponsible , if I capsize I could die out here ; or worse , I might have to beg the help of a monohull sailor...! ".
Question - is the 6kg. tip weight the revised maximum (some talk about stealths being lighter aloft...)? How light would we have to go to make the boat rightable for an average heighted 150lb.er ? Have you found youself alone , capsized and unable to recover ?
PK
ps - righting pole systems are not a consideration for reasons of asthetics.
