Great idea, elegant solution

: While I was taking pics of the deck fittings I thought I would
: share this idea which I believe I have posted before, but Bill
: or someone was talking about cleats and deck rigging. I ran this
: line around two Kajack Sport deck fittings right behind the
: 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.
