[Paddlewise] SV: SV: SV: T-Rescue not T-brace

Sure Steve

I think I expresed my selv wrongly (what boat are you paddling?)

Of course you can perform a T rescue without decklines and toggles.

An other thing some contributors have mentioned is the impotence of using
you whole body and boat to do these rescues.
It all works a lot better if you are so confident in your bout that you can
twist you body and lean over the other boat .

I see a lot of people how are doing rescues ( and other disciplines) sitting
straight up, looking forwards and working with the hands somewhere to the
side. I think this is the main problem for those who claim that T rescue's
do not work in rough conditions.

Lenze, I will agree with you that deck lines SHOULD be standard
equipment on all sea kayaks (as well as toggles).

However, not having them, only makes a "T" rescue more difficult, but
not impossible.
