Hi

Much the same here - I am midriff challenged too [16 st and 5'9") (it's
gravity you know) but have no difficulty getting out of an S6 which has a
tighter cockpit than a 225 IIRC (it's certainly a smaller boat).

Frank's idea is sound try it with pals around and if you can get in a
swimming pool to practice this then so much the better.

It's amazing what a frightened man can get out of...

Hi,

I paddle an H2 255 and am also on the lage side (6ft , 15stone). Even
when I am nice and snug in my boat I have no trouible making a wet
exit.

I just pull the deck and gravity seems to do the rest, never any need
to fiddle with the backrest adjustment. Give it a try on flat water
with some mates about.
