You only place the paddle under the thigh brace after you enter the cockpit. Then you tighten the string. If you lean on the paddlefloat it will hold you there with very little inclination. Then you don't have to worry about balancing with the hip. Just use both hands to place the sprayskirt, and then pump. The string is important since when you lean the paddle would float and the boat would turn but it stays in place held to the floating shaft. It really works.\ Best Regards, Rafael Mensaje citado por Peter Treby <ptreby_at_ozemail.com.au>: > I'm having a little trouble imagining the use of the Mexican outrigger. > If the outrigger is in place, it will be hard to enter the cockpit, as the > paddle blade and shaft will obstruct entry? *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
