[Paddlewise] Towline - where to hook

I recommend hooking the tow line to the deck (perimeter) lines as close to 
the bow as possible.  If you hook it to the grab loop and the grab loop fails 
you loose the tow.  If you hook it to the deck line and a deck line 
attachment fails you have about six others.

If you hook it to the towed person at the cockpit, they will not travel 
straight.  If you are worried about them being able to unclip it, attach it 
to a painter that runs from the bow to the cockpit.  Then they can paddle up 
to the attachment and pull it back and unclip it.
