Sea Guide Towline MK11 Rope

Season:Current

Brand:Whetman Equipment

Code:WESESG7140000020

The Whetman Sea Guide Towline MK11 is designed for use by enthusiast sea kayakers looking for the ultimate towline.It is likely you wish to deploy the device on a regular basis & needs a simple system that can be repacked in rough water and then be deployed again.

The bag has two tows:

  • Main Tow 14 metre standard
  • A Second short tow

LEFT SIDE: On the left is the second ultra short tow with connector stowed on the right fixed loop.

RIGHT SIDE: Reach on the right hand side to access the main towline connector stowed on the fixed loop.

​The short tow is reflective rope & the main tow floating 6mm red/yellow.

FEATURES

Float

The float can travel along the length of the main tow as far as the stopper will allow (usually set about 2 m from the connector) and the stopper position can be adjusted. Therefore if the line needs to thread under several decklines then the float will not prevent this.

Second Tow

The second tow can be used as a contact towline. It has many other uses which includes to connect paddler to kayak if solo or to connect to the main line with a clove hitch enabling a shorter length of main line to be deployed. It can be used to cinch around a paddle shaft & allow it to float free, also useful should a throwline rescue be deployed into a gully; once thrown the throwline end can be clipped into the short tow & the rescuer is then hands free to prepare to tow out the casualty. Another application is should the wearer be assisting from the rocks on a rocky landing in swell he may wish to be held in position on a belay line connected to the short tow to prevent being washed into the sea.

To repack

The bag is designed so that the cover will stay upright & open and the bag remains flared open to receive rope. Spin the bag to your front and gather the rope in very short loops in one palm and count the number of loops. When you count to approx 25 lops then you will have the majority of the rope in your palm. Stuff the rope in one action into the bag, close the cover and clip the connector to the D ring. With practise this is possible to complete within 60 seconds. Whilst counting loops you will be able to look around and keep good balance; there is no need to gaze down at the gathering loops of rope!
