Steve Whetman from Whetman Equipment is coming up with some pretty nifty pieces of gear for use on the water. The Anaconda tow system is designed to make towing another boat as safe as possible. Check it out.

At under £13 the Palm Snake Sling is an affordable and I would suggest essential piece of safety gear. All good gear should have multiple uses and this is certainly true for the Snake Sling. I carry 1 x Snake Sling and 1 x Safety Tape whilst out on the water.
In the short video below Jake Holland takes us through how to carry a sling safely and how it could be used.
First and foremost there is an appropriate time to tow and not to tow. If it can be avoided it is best to do so. However YOU may choose to use a tow system to move a boat across a piece of still water. As with all things of this type it is down to the paddlers own assessment on the day and therefore at the paddlers own risk. Choosing the right kind of towing option for the right conditions is critical.
