Hi- that was informative and helpful; thanks!

Re towing, what did you find to be the useful range of tow rope lengths?
And I couldn't tell whether your anchor points referred to the tower or
towee. Does the tower's end have to pass through something on the very end
of his stern? Ditto for the bow end of the towee (what if he's too sick to 
steer his boat)?

If the only place you can carry a spare paddle and be able to reach it
from the cockpit is behind you, what would you do- carry it there but
remove it if you capsize? I am now considering stowing it in the boat.
Downside to that?

Thanks again. Slainte! e
