Bought -- integrated with the PFD.

I tried a frizbee and parachute cord -- didn't work, so I painted it as a
pizza and used it to lure my crew out of holes when they were hogging.

Is the satchel throwbag and the lower towline something you built or
bought?

I've been contemplating a collapsible "frisbee" with a drawstring rim as
a potential throwbag - this idea is only an hour or so old, no proof of
concept yet...
