A righting line for a P16.



You should only need one. Relatively thick thick line 7/16 or larger. put several knots in it at about 18 in intervals. When capsized, it goes over the top hull, near the front crossbar, and should be long enough to touch the water. If you have a trap harness on, just put a knot on the hook that allows you to get fairly horizontal with you feet against the keel od the bottom hull. Or use arm strength, as the boat starts coming up, 'climbing' the righting line keeps you out of the water and the weight continuing to right the boat. As it comes over, go inside the hulls and grab the dolphin striker on the former water side, to keep it from flipping the other way.



You should only need one line. I've seen ~170 lb guys right a P16 solo, with only a righting line.
