Another possibility with boats that lack perimeter lines but that have a front D-ring would be to run a bight of the tow line, just above the 'biner, through the D-ring and then clip on to the bight. This should help keep the 'biner from being opened by the back of the D-ring. Bob V > Jim asks: > > <<< > What is the preferred location for clipping the tow line onto the towed > kayak?
