RE: Rigging Romany for paddle-float (outrigger) rescue: Someone on the list suggested using velcro. I'm going to try that on the boat I'm finishing now, using the 2 inch wide stuff. Bungies at the same place as the day hatch would probably interfere with using the hatch while in the boat, but velcro could be left slightly loose except when you need it for rescue. I think that putting the bungies behind the day hatch cover would probably support the boat well enough, but it would be very difficult to get the paddle out of the bungies without re-capsizing once you were back in the boat. Maybe if you had extra-extra long arms and a back as limber as a contortionist....
