: Straight lines work so much better than the zigzag lines all the N. American
: manufacturers put on their boats. They think it looks purty, but that
: design is next to worthless.

Yeah, really.

: I use a double fisherman knot to hold my paddle hold down off the deck.

I use a single fisherman's with a half of a wine cork separating the knots. I just picked up some cute wooden beads at a craft store yesterday, and may slip them on the deck perimeter lines and bungees.
