Reply to: mounting paddles on boom

[quote=MN3][quote]What would be the advantage of one location over the other?[/quote] The boom is not really a great long term location. a paddle could hit someone during a tack at some point. The guys in the race are pulling out the paddles often.. it makes more sense but i BET THE FARM someone eats that paddle every race On the trailer is obviously of no use if you demast, or the wind dies. I would not leave it there with an offshore wind I can't see the mast as a great location either... you have things like Jibs (unless uni rigged), jib sheets that will constantly get fouled on a paddle. on my h18 i drilled a few holes in each decklid to lace bungee to hold my paddle. worked flawless (except the amount of exposure on the paddle reduced its lifespan) I know people who simply place it by the rear beam, under the hiking straps, with a single line holding it in place incase of capsize. I personally have 2 collapsible paddles. 1 in my hull (i have an access hatch) and the other in my trunk. I will bring it if i have crew, but thats not often. it is soooooo much easier for 2 people with paddles than 1.[/quote]
