Mark: Excellent! ESAD is a tremendous contribution to qajaqophonics,
although spamson will be entered in the Concise Qajaq Dictionary as well as
sp*ns*n.
This reminds me of the climbing protection device known as "Friends". For a
while they were the only ones of their kind, and the name was used
generically, much like Brits use hoovering for vacuum cleaning. Other
designs came along, and the term SLCD was coined, for spring loaded camming
device.
Is the Tim Ingram product is the only ESAD on the market? I have a Mariner
paddlefloat, and with a bit of modification, say four attachment points near
each corner, I think it could do double duty as an ESAD. Good idea?
Regards,
Peter Treby
