How about this idea? One bonds a section of carbon paddle shaft laterally throught the hull behind the rear bulkhead so that there is a hollow tube running through the boat at that point. Then you take one half of your spare split, stick the float on the blade, and bung the ferrule end into the hole. Presto, a rock steady outrigger for re-entry

Then you have time to get settled, pump, get the deck back on, have a cup of tea, etc, before removing the split and moving on
