G'Day,

Can anyone describe setting up a tow line on a fibreglass sea kayak. This
will mean drilling my first holes in the boat! I've been using a waist belt
with the Klepper folding boat but now I'm using a relatively narrow
hardshell and with the possibility of rolling am concerned about
entanglement. If the tow hook is set up too near the cockpit is there a risk
of being pulled over? If you don't fix it near the cockpit how is the quick
release and fast deployment arranged? I'ld be glad of any advice.

All the best, PeterO
