These are for a 26 lb. wee lassie. Had to smile at Dans' comment about losing body parts :) picturing my 61 y.o. wife in this boat in water still as glass. I doubt they'll be used much, but by george I did install those painters holes!

: I did that on one boat and was disappointed because the knot folds
: over and is not as comfortable as a solid toggle.

: I improvised my own knot which worked fine.

: Something like this: to ends of the line coming out from the boat.
: Once end goes right and back the length of your handle - the
: other side does the same the opposite way- two lines now lay� on
: one another that have a long pass going one way then back. Then
: take one end ( either side ) and come back, through the loop on
: the far end and start winding over all the lines as far as you
: want for the handle. When you go far enough the line runs under
: the loop on that end and you tighten it all up and it will lock.

: In all honesty, I would have to try it myself again but if I get
: energetic, I will and maybe post a few drawings. I couldn't find
: it either and just had to play around until I got one that
: worked. As I said it will bend in your hand but if your boat is
: super light, It might be fine. I think a better one could be
: made with a stick covered with the line.
