Nigel's technique provides assitance to a rescuer who does not have a lot of upper body strength. It is important that person being rescued pulls the boat over the deck and does not, repeat does not, pull down on the boat - which could result in serious damage to the boat. BTW, I paddle with Bob and last weekend we did several rough water rescues in New York Harbor using the technique he described. With boats undulating with the waves, getting the boat flipped righside up by the "victim" is a big help. sid *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
