I take advantage of the lifelines.  I have made up some short bungies with 
nylon hooks on the ends.  The hooks have a gate to keep them from working 
free.  I use these to tie down stuff (like the spare paddle on the front deck) by 
wrapping the bungie around the shafts and clipping onto the lifelines.  By putting 
one clip forward of the lifeline fairlead on, say, the starboard side and the other 
aft on the port side, the bungie doesn't tend to slide too far from where it belongs.

I've been thinking of making some sort of pocket to have a "clean" paddle 
holder, using these clips.  Someday...
