      • Did you notice
        • Big displacement boats which have to get towed out of such seas would be more safely towed with a bridal?
          • Wouldn't a bridle be more effective?
            • Yes ;^)) [even for inner tubes]
              • Wouldn't flotation tubes, to get the boat higher in the water be the way to go?
                • Could be, but reports said the were waiting for high tide to ease the loads.
                  • Flotas don't require a flat bottom... we've used them here on all types of blowboats... time and surf may be big factor
    • Ah yes, Commissar
