Connected to the front, it will hold the boat in straigth direction towards the waves, so ´maybe it´s not so extreme wobbly. Other option (maybe) is to stuck the (spare) paddle under decks-bungies to the side, so they could behave like kind of outrigger (+ float ?). But it all will be an individual problem and the solution depends on the concrete situation. I carry most important things (VHF, flares, spare compass, light, little bit of food) in or around my paddling jacket and the west or on my sprayskirt. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
