Hi

I'm looking at purchasing a used scull and number of available boats have a bow wing rigger (eg Fluidesign). I'm aware that getting back into a bow rigged scull after a capsize is going to be a little/lot different from what I learnt in capsize

drills with a stern wing rigged boat.

Given that I often scull on my own throughout the year and the river banks/other exit points are not always readily available - having the option of being able to get back into my scull quickly and row (not just lie down and hand paddle) back to

safety is vital.

I've spent a fair amount of time scouring the internet to find comments / videos but not come up with anything useful.

So can anyone direct me to some information or describe the best approach?

Thanks

Duncan

Thanks for those thoughts so far - in the case of Fluidesign specifically, I see some people have added rubber or similar material strips to the cockpit edges to round/soften them

Reviving an old post: Does anybody have specific suggestions for softening the cockpit edges? I recently flipped at 79 and badly bruised myself trying to hoist myself onto the hull.
