>i know there was a recent discussion on thhis subject, but i missed it. is >anyone familiar with the richie kayaker? how does it attach to the boat (the >catalog says "with a simple hand tool," and "no holes in deck," I prefer the Richie "Sportabout." You don't have to attach it to the deck. It has a string which conveniently can be tied to the bungie. If you then need a hand bearing compass, either while paddling, or while on the beach, the sport-about serves this function as well. And get this: It also has a place to put tiny Calume sticks, so you also have a lighted compass when and if you need it. The Sportabout also has 30 & 60 degree marks for "tacking" and/or intercepting a bearing, for those familiar with the technique of tracking a bearing to a station, rather than "HOMING" to a station.
