Salamander makes an excellent tow belt (not cheap). It has two lines: a short 13-foot line for towing in calm conditions, and a 33 foot line for conditions in which the short line might result in collisions between tower and towee. Both lines come with carabiners for quick hookup and release. The belt has an airline-type quick release buckle with a wooden ball attached to the buckle to make it easier to locate and grasp with hurried/cold fingers. I think they call the system the "Keelhauler Pro." *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Fri Dec 10 1999 - 11:51:23 PST
