Capsized last weekend solo and had a chance to see if I could right it solo. No go. I was in the mist of trying the garbage bag over the shoulder, but didn't have enough water in it. By then, I had one motorboat, a H16 and the beachstaff jetski offering help, so with a lift of the mast, my experimenting with the bag was over.

After the fact, I'm thinking I probably needed at least 5 gallons of water to make it work.

I'm trying to do the math, but I'm not sure of the weight and moment of a capsized Blade. My guess is 20 Kg at 14 feet. To offset that, I have 138 Lbs at 3 feet. It just seems like I need quite a bit of water at 5 feet to make it work. Anybody know what weight and moment I should be using for the rig?

I'd prefer not to have to install a righting pole, but I definitely need to do something, because on weekdays, no one may see me and it's a long way across the lake.
