Do a search on the Forum.....
Typically, it is a light weight pole, about 72" long, attached via a flexible joint, to the dolphin striker rod. Normally, it 'sits' under the tramp, tied up. In the event of a capsize, unclick the bungee that secures it, swing the pole out, attach existing lines to the hull in the air, and lean back on the pole, using the extra leverage.
Make your own, ask your Hobie dealer, email Rick White....or better still, have a heavy weight crew on board each time you capsize.
