BOB L Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 This is listed in the coastal kayaking day trip leader course outline as a method of boat recovery/repair. Does anyone know what it is?Bob L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Nystrom Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 In rock/ice climbing parlance, a "cow's tail" is a piece of webbing that's attached to the climbers harness at one end and has a hook or carbiner on the other. It's used to clip into a tool or piece of protection so the climber can hang on it and rest. The closest things I can think of in kayaking would be contact tows and rescue stirrups. How they could be used for "repair" is beyond me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob budd Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 A piece of towgear. I don't work for NRS so don't attack this reply as a commercial posting. http://www.paddlerzone.co.nz/products/safe...cue/nrs_pigtail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
