hand paddles

[martinw]

Ive seen these hand paddles on e-bay, has anyone ever used them? obviously they're not as affective as a normal paddle but after seeing them Ive been thinking of getting a set to put to one side for emergency's.

At moelfre last Sunday i was fishing at anchor and the tide pull uncoupled my paddle off my leash, i was lucky to have noticed it as soon as it happened and the fact that georgeb was at hand to recover it, it could have all ended in tears

I suppose they are easy enough to make rather that buy, Anyone got any thoughts on these?

Would be better off buying a 4 piece paddle or perhaps a canoe paddle and fix inside the hatch so that it doesn't disappear inside the hull in the event of a spill.

Alternatively buy yourself a proper leash that won't uncouple.

if you ever louse your paddle lie on your belly and use your hands if you have nothing else it saved my mate after he lost his, it happens
