Canoe Painters - Their length and use - part 1

The age old question of how long your canoe painters should be is often quite contentious.
Everybody is entitled to their opinion, and it often helps to offer reasons why you have that opinion with evidence and techniques to back them up.
Here is my thinking as part of two videos, I hope they are useful.
If you have better ideas I’d love to see and hear them as Im always keen to learn.

Oh man your videos having been real handy, I’m from the U.K. and moved to Georgia in the USA and the amount of water across this state got me really into canoeing

For whitewater, we often do not have anything permanent on the canoe. If a painter is needed for lining, for example, we would tie a throw rope to the grab loop and take it off again afterward. Safety being more important than speed, there is always time to set things up before proceeding, and having things tied to the canoe impedes rescues.

Thanks for your comment, perhaps part 2 would give more context for this use and also the swim line video thats been posted here kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYKyXpmnfLR0rNE

This made me laugh! Thanks Mike I like to see new ideas and people develop and change.

The length of a mic windscreen is slightly larger than the mic. JK Adam, great info as I'm prepping for a trip!

Yep I appreciate it can be a little windy. At least it’s 100% real and on expedition 😊A friend has gifted me a mic…
