Joan, Thanks for the input! Just playing devil's advocate for a moment ..., couldn't the paddle (or paddle halves) be mounted on the front of the boat to avoid the problems with re-entry from the rear? The long cylindrical clips, if sized properly, appear to me to be adequate to keep a paddle secure in even the harshest conditions. You could use 2 per paddle half. I would also use a tether from paddle(s) to boat. As far as drilling holes goes ..., doesn't bother me. Must be a "guy" thing. The reason I'm looking into this method of attachment is, the bungy cord storage arrangement scratches the deck when inserting and removing the paddle.
