: the same idea except rigid and recessed mount. so usual small or larger line
: and recessed mount, few more fittings? if others can grab my lines, why
: can't i?

I can see some utility is having recessed lines in that area, but the key is "recessed". If they're out of the way when paddling and attaching the spray skirt, that's great.

My experience has been than lines on top of the deck in this area are a problem, unless the boat is wide enough to provide clearance between the coaming and the lines. I don't paddle boats that wide anymore, so such lines are impractical for me.

: the issue (as with all deck lines to a lesser degree) is the amount of
: disfunction they cause versus their usefullness. does one have slack lines
: that will grab or tight lines that wont or lines that can do both or lines
: that are raised that can grab or not raised that cant. or lines that will
: bug you near the cockpit or can be placed or manipulated so wont. and are
: there then advantages.

I'll shoot some pics of my deck rigging preferences and post them on Webshots.
