I would use this for a dinghy tow line because it floats, making it less likely to get into your prop in reverse. "Less likely" is the key phrase. Floating line can still get wrapped in the prop, ask me how I know. So far, I don't know of a single way to totally fool-proof any aspect of sailing or cruising. The best you can hope for is a slight degree of "fool-resistant." Yes, that is why I said "less likely." I have seen dinghy painters with a series of floats, that might make it "even less likely." However, hauling the dinghy up short against the stern before going in reverse is still a great idea. Rodney Myrvaagnes J36 Gjo/a Ask not with whom the buck stops . . . |
