Since I got my Nacra 5.2 I have been worried about righting it alone. So I have decided to build a righting pole for the boat.
Here is how I plan to do it.

Today I tested out the pole that I plan to use, it is the bottom part of a broken pole vault pole. I have alot of these laying around because I was a fairly competetive pole vaulter in HS and broke more than a few poles. The part I am going to use is about 7 feet long and very stiff. I plan to put a rubber V on the bottom of the pole which when being used with slip around the bottom of the front crossbar. Then using a few I-bolts I will attach a couple of ropes with carbiners on the end. One of them with run striaght back towards the boat and attach near the topside of the front crossbar. Then I will also have a rope running from the end of the righting pole to the back and front of the boat to prevent side to side motion during righting. I am not going to rig up the whole ready in a second system. I think I will just carry it bungeed right under the tramp.

So do you all think this will work? I can't really see a problem with it as of yet. I know the pole is stiff enough, I tested it today by sticking it in the ground about a foot and then climbing almost to the end of it. During that test it only deflected about 8 inches; I figure with ropes supporting the end of the pole it should have almost no deflection.
