Or, he could just keep it in a hatch. Mine does double duty as a tow line lengthener and sits in the bottom of my Kokatat back sack. It is really easy to get out and clip on to something. When the line gets wet, what happens? Cheers, Rob G I found a picture of Mark and his painter at http://duane.smugmug.com/gallery/2378334#124618259_xexGH It looks like it runs back from the bow toggle and is clipped to the rearmost bow deck bungee on the left side. Mark, do you set up to that side? It seems to have a certain amount of slack, so it will hang several inches below the deck when capsized, potentially causing problems. If it does, it may be an indication that Mark is setting up with the paddle lower in the water than optimum. With a little more tuck, the paddle would be against the hull, not the deck, and would be clear of the painter. Or you could shorten it so that it clips to the front of the bungees, not the back, since why would you need access to it from the cockpit? *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
