Robi is your weight and 3 or 4 inches taller. He has difficulty righting. Tom and Terry are both around 6' tall and the ATRS works for them. I'm 5' 8" 225 lbs. and can right unaided, without too much difficulty.

I'm guessing you will save yourself a lot of trouble by buying one of Rick White's righting poles. Now that I'm thinking about it, I may buy one for myself.
