Legal liability is one reason why you should always have bow and stern tie-downs (as well as a red cloth attached to the sternmost point of whatever you are carrying). In an accident, if your kayak flies off and hurts some person or some property, you have a weaker case if the kayak was not tied down. I'm not a lawyer, but this is what I've heard. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced/forwarded outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: PaddleWise_at_PaddleWise.net Subscriptions: PaddleWise-request_at_PaddleWise.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Tue Jul 18 2000 - 17:19:51 PDT
