The righting line is just a little bigger in diameter than the mainsheet. I tied it to the dolphin striker post and throw it over the top hull. I tied a knot in the right place so that I can "trapeze" to right the boat.

Good things I learned:
1. The way the spin snuffer line is positioned makes it very easy to snuff the spin when the boat is on its side....LOL.
2. Don't completely release the downhaul b/c you risk the sail coming unhooked at the head...PIA when on open water.
3. These pitchpoles were fairly non-violent, don't be afraid to push it a little. Obviously, take into account your location and weather patterns. I was on an inland lake with comfortable water temps (and crash boats nearby).
4. My mast doesn't seem to leak!!

No JPOR for me (I'd like to, but that is one very long trip - approx 650 miles each way), but I will be at Ocean Springs Yacht Club this weekend for the Slip-to-Ship regatta.
