Securing Painters on Your Canoe

[@khomol]

The sound quality is fantastic

I attach a climbing carabiner to both ends of the Painter. It makes attaching the proximal end to the carry-handle and the distal end to a convenient tree.

[@richardjohnson4052]

I also put a bottle bag on my deck and store my painter inside that bag to keep it safe.

What knot did you use to connect the painter line to the grab loop? I was planning on just using a bow line is there a preferred/better knot for this application?

[@robertprice8321]

I'm not a fan of having loops which easily become snag hazards. Keeping the loop at the front / back very tight is possible;y better. The thwart is then attached as shown through the loop and a grab line is added in the same way (attached to the loop). Keep the loop at the front / back tight so that a hand can't be trapped in the loop.

Great video man. Lots of info. Easy to understand

Great tip Dan. Simple and great ideas.

Hi, super video again, great lessons and very good rope work. I like ; ) Thanks a lot and happy Day Sepp

[@claudewiggins4859]

Helpful material. Thank you. But terrible audio quality. Having a wireless microphone on your shirt collar with a windscreen would make a big difference.

What knot did you use to secure it to the grab loop?

[@mikesanchezgsxr]

Put the hole for the grab handle line lower and you have water coming in. The boat already has a molded in carry handle. Not really a good idea to drill holes in thevboat like that. I would suggest sealing those holes up and gedttng a proper now loop ring.

Helpful & instructional video, but man... get a dead cat wind shield for your cam mic, that wind rumble drove me nuts!

I've only just found your channel Dan. Linking the mods.

Wonderful thank you

Hi, I’m an absolute amateur and a very recent canoe outfitter. However, I disagree with a few things you’ve done. 1. Thicker rope for your bow and stern loops- won’t pull through. 2. Smaller bow and stern loops- they’ll snag something eventually. 3. Buy some good rope. It won’t degrade in the sun, and it’ll be sealed already instead of horrifically fluffy. 4. 2 metres of painter is relatively useless. Why limit it to a man’s length? What’s it used for? Why not have a bit more to be more versatile? Happy to be proven wrong or hear your reasons! Ray Goodwin’s guidance is great on outfitting a boat.

Those buggies won’t last long in the sun. They will loose their elasticity. Trust me. 🇨🇦👍

[@chrismurphy5180]

way involved keep it simple and the painter line is too short

[@deetee-uk]

wow that's some wind :-)
