Doug, I was checking out all your deck rigging and I came up with a concern. Some months ago I was doing some roll practice at the local pool. I had a bow painter rigged up to my kayak. Normally this fits tight to the deck but after several rolls I didn't realize it had worked loose. On one of my rolls my paddle slipped under the line and snagged up. Fortunately I was able to see in the clear what was happening and managed to untangle the paddle and roll up. I wonder in looking at your pictures if any of your various deck lines could snag a paddle during a roll (especially your tethered deck knife)?
