Re: [Paddlewise] Bow Painters

I used to have one on my boat. It was easy to clip onto a log or something for a lunch stop. It interfered with the roll once and away it went.

Cheers,

Looking for the collected wisdom on the subject of bow lines. I have one
that reaches just a bit past the front of my cockpit. In the past, with my
frequent swims, I liked having it easily deployable, but now am finding it
occasionally tangling in my paddle when I try to roll. Anybody else have
this problem? Any novel alternatives out there? I'm thinking maybe I should
just switch to a stern line!
