: I just put a nylon fairlead in the middle of my bungee arrangement. If I need
: to park my paddle I just lay it on the deck aft of the fairlead, grab a
: strand of bungee, lay it over the paddle and hook it on the fairlead. I
: think a fairlead is less apt to foul things than a cleat.

Good idea--that would work better for what I have in mind. I need to spend more time in a chandlrey--I didn't know what a fairlead was until you suggested it, and it would clearly be less likely to grab onto things when you didn't want it to!
