G'Day Gordin, Wasn't sure if you were including toggles or just loops in the research? Our club specifies that boats on club trips must be fitted with toggles not loops. The reason was the possibility of injury due to the boat twisting in the surf while the kayaker had their hand or fingers in the loop. Whether the rule was introduced because of first hand experience or conventional wisdom I don't know, but will ask. All the best, PeterO *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
