Rope Ratchet. One in front; one in back. http://www.roperatchet.com/

No knots to fail.
Easy to apply the correct tension.
Tension remains constant.
What could be easier?

When I get to the launch I take the Rope Ratchets off the boat and put them on my car seat. Even I can't forget them no matter how tired I am after paddling. Well, I can, but the discomfort of sitting on them is a sharp reminder.
