St. Louis, MO | Anybody tried the power pole righting system on a Nacra 6.0? I'd like to know how well it has worked compared to a more traditional system...
Also....any issues with it being class legal for either N6.0 class or F20??
Thx in advance.

St. Louis, MO | Thanks Rick....good feedback!! Can you explain how / where it anchors/pivots? It is unclear to me if it mounts to the crossmember or to the bottom of the dolphin striker...(which would make it more of a concern in regard to water drag...  ) Also...do you know if there are any limit on using it with the N6.0 class racing? Thx again! Joe

South Carolina | Oooops! I stand corrected - not sure what I was thinking about! However, I was almost positive that the shroud lengthening devices were not...did they recently change this? From the Hobie class rules: 8.2 A minimum* 3/8 in. (9.53 mm) diameter righting
line or webbing consisting of at least one 14 ft.
(4.27 meter) length of line or webbing, or two 8
ft. (2.44 meter) lengths of line or webbing shall
be securely attached and readily accessible
from each side of the boat. The righting lines or
webbing shall be in addition to all other required
equipment. (Unless specified differently in individual
boat class rules)
* Righting water bags, shroud lengthening devices,
righting pole type devices, and righting
systems other than the minimum system specified
may be carried and shall be used for righting
purposes only.
