: cockpit and braided two interlocking loops. One of the two loops
: naturally always points up so that you have something to clip
: into rather quickly. Right behind this is a deck bungee to hold
: my rescue line ready to go. This has worked beautifully for
: rescues and towing, and it is also a handy place for clipping
: off to docks and for clipping your mooring line, run first
: through a bow loop and then clipped here. Everything is accessed
: easily while seated with sprayskirt on.

That's a pretty nice idea, pretty boat too :)

It's a whole heck of alot less cumbersome than the towing rig I've got on the rear deck of my Greenlander, but that was added by the PO.
