Well mr Wouter, in order to square the comments, I would add all the words up and multiply it by itself. That would mean those comments are then squared.

If you are really asking for further insight into the comments....let me explain. When I bought the boat, the owner stated he was 165 (and visually this seems about right). He stated he could right it with the pole, I believed him and felt no need for a demonstration of this ability. I have capsized twice. The first time, it came up easily.....hence the first comment. I had a race this past weekend and in between races, was messing around with various items and went over again. This time, it was a little tougher and I did some on-water adjustments to make it right a little easier. My assessment is that Rick's righting pole on this boat is....OK. It works, but I was inquiring to others with the same boat to find out what they use. I may adapt the pole system or may go with a new system entirely depending on others' experience. I hope this explanation meets your questions.
