Therefore if the line needs to thread under several decklines then the float will not prevent this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSecond Tow\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second tow can be used as a contact towline. It has many other uses which includes to connect paddler to kayak if solo or to connect to the main line with a clove hitch enabling a shorter length of main line to be deployed. It can be used to cinch around a paddle shaft \u0026amp; allow it to float free, also useful should a throwline rescue be deployed into a gully; once thrown the throwline end can be clipped into the short tow \u0026amp; the rescuer is then hands free to prepare to tow out the casualty. Another application is should the wearer be assisting from the rocks on a rocky landing in swell he may wish to be held in position on a belay line connected to the short tow to prevent being washed into the sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTo repack\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bag is designed so that the cover will stay upright \u0026amp; open and the bag remains flared open to receive rope. Spin the bag to your front and gather the rope in very short loops in one palm and count the number of loops. When you count to approx 25 lops then you will have the majority of the rope in your palm. Stuff the rope in one action into the bag, close the cover and clip the connector to the D ring. With practise this is possible to complete within 60 seconds. Whilst counting loops you will be able to look around and keep good balance; there is no need to gaze down at the gathering loops of rope!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Whetman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54476398559559,"sku":"WH-SGTLMK11","price":109.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/5970\/0295\/files\/whetman_sea_guide_towline_mk11_3526f575-3edf-4cfa-b8ad-e6f2989b85ac.jpg?v=1790930749","url":"https:\/\/roho.co.uk\/products\/whetman-sea-guide-towline-mk11","provider":"Robin Hood Watersports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
