| - | * Like so much of the recovery and rescue technique and equipment described in these pages, **having the equipment does not at all mean you know how to use it effectively **or where you will bump hard into its limitations. Are you sure towing when attached to a foot brace will work? What if the other boat's paddler can not stay upright and in their boat to assist in steering? Would towing then be greatly assisted if you can jam a thin pad under the towed boat's rudder to keep it straight while being towed? (just as we recommend as one way to deal with a broken rudder cable). Or can you carry something to wrap (and not slip) around the front of a boat lacking a handle that you can clip into that will work better than attaching to a foot brace? | + | * Like so much of the recovery and rescue technique and equipment described in these pages, **having the equipment does not at all mean you know how to use it effectively **or where you will bump hard into its limitations.
