In Response To: Re: tow points must be near cockpit (Malcolm Schweizer)

: Thanks for the point Shawn. I was also thinking about a cam cleat so I could
: pull and release. What are your thoughts?

: - Cam Cleat

Fantastic for towing!!!

: - Ring Eye
: - Eye Bolt
: - U-Bolt

Great for attaching your grab loop, hanging the boat, or as a tiedown for carrying the boat on a roof rack. Even good for attaching the perimeter line. Just don't tow from it.

: - Pad Eye

Subject to screw pull-out strength, and subject to a little rot where you're penetrating your glass sheath with wood.
