Re: [Paddlewise] Mexican Outrigger

Let's assume the Mexican outrigger is set  up, paddle under thigh brace,
lashed to the other side of the coaming. The water is rough, since it's
rough enough to have capsized in the first place. A wave capsizes you again
to the other side from the paddlefloat. You are now upside down, without a
paddle to roll, and with your paddle lashed across the cockpit. Is this an
entrapment issue?
Cheers, PT
