-- I may have misdescribed that a little:  The webbing was not looped around the kayak at the ends, but a foot or three in, where the chines were relatively flat.  So the webbing won't slide off the end of the boat, and I think it would have been a stronger aspect of the boat.  Being against a wall would help keep the boat from flexing in the wrong directions, too...
