Evan, I have been paddling and teaching out of a Romany 16 for the past few months and find that you really do not need rigging at all. I have just been using the perimeter deck line that runs on the opposite side of the day hatch. With just very little practise I have managed to get into the boat in about five seconds once the rig was set up. However I can only use it to come up from the left side. If you come up from aft of the paddle there is a chance the paddle will swing away from you. Practise, practise, practise. Brgds Jeffrey T.
