Towing Rig

"Knot So Fast" and the towing rig.

"Knot So Fast"

Yep. I named my canoe. Seems appropriate.
Also I have completed the splash aprons. The splash aprons serve several functions:
1. Helps keep the inside of the canoe dry
2. Reduces the surface area of the canoe so the wind catches less surface
3. If I roll the canoe it will retain all of my gear inside the canoe instead of dispersing it all down river
4. Prevents the canoe from getting swamped by a wave
5. Theft deterrent.
6. Looks good
I'm having fun.
