That's what I was using but on my last outing in pretty rough weather my righting line tied to dolphin striker via a bowline became untied. I've always heard a bowline can come apart when not under tension but this was the first time I actually experienced it.
I switched to anchor hitch with overhand knot in tail and it seems ultra secure.[/quote]
