: Now that I've finally gotten around to building GPs I have my old
: Euro paddle to carry on the deck as a spare. My friends with the
: store-bought boats just stick their spare paddles under some
: bungees and don't give it another thought. Surely we wooden boat
: builders care more about the finish of our decks to do that. I
: do. What have some of you done to protect your deck while
: carrying a spare paddle?

Btw, there is a material if you insist, that the motorcycle riders sometimes use on their tanks to protect them, that's a clear plastic. Don't remember the name of it never have used it but it's pretty abrasion resitant. A web search will turn it up, I'm thinking it's made by 3M, but I'm not sure.

It's self stick btw. Have no idea how you'd get it back off to refinish the deck though.
