: Bob, What type of line did you use for your paddle line? It looks like a
: cotton material. Do you have a problem with it not stretching? How do you
: keep it tight around the paddle? Or is it just a snug fit so you can
: easily remove the paddle? Thanks for the pic too!
: Still researching, Elliott
Elliot,
The line is braided Nylon starting cord like you use on lawnmowers and chainsaws. I melt the ends and draw it to a fine point before I try pulling it through the holes in the gunwales. It makes a fairly loose fit on my spare paddle, I tuck the other end of the paddle under the toggle lines just behind the cockpit and cinch them down.
Hope this helps,
Bob
