The SoloRight was a 78" Caviness hardwood oar that was laminated with unidirectional carbon tow, woven fiberglass, and epoxy in a composite lay-up. The paddle end of the oar was laid down on top of the capsized hull's deck lip. (top of the lip when the hull is laying sideways....in other words, it was the inside edge of the hull lip, under the trampoline. And, this was only on Pridle 16, Prindle 18, Hobie 14, and Hobie 16)

The bottom side of the SoloRight, at the paddle end, had a "Z" shaped ledge that butted against the bottom edge of the hull lip and inserted underneath the lip.

The suspension lines were less than 20 feet in length, in total.

The height of the outboard end of the SoloRight was higher than parallel to the mast. The handle end of the oar was roughly, nearly as high as the tramp center lacing.


Thanks to Sheldon for demonstrating.
