G'Day, I do the same as Steve but have also fibreglassed a stainless steel ring between the seat and side of the hull through which the strap for the paddlefloat goes so it can't be washed out of the cockpit during a wet exit. I've tried undoing the strap many times during practise rescue sessions with no problems. My old paddlefloat has now been replaced and the new one comes with a long cord attached so I'm about to try using it with the cord connected to this ring. The steel ring is also a useful attachment point for securing the boat against theft! And for attaching bags of vegemite, which is not only very good for you but tastes marvellous as well and will improve your paddlefloat technique and the Australian economy no end if only you eat enough of it!! All the best, PeterO (Who doesn't own any shares in Vegemite but is merely a very satisfied customer) *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
