What do you like for these ropes? Anyone use just a long lining rope for double duty? I'm a 12' x 25' guy, but that could change. Seems like I never have enough to get the job done easy. I'm thinking of reforming to a 15' x 30' persuasion.
I haven't truly lined or tracked anything in more than 20 years, basically since I gave up regular whitewater running. Therefore, I wouldn't outfit a daily touring canoe with long lining ropes. My painters are about 15' bow and 12' stern of floating 1/4" poly rescue rope. If I go on an extended trip, I take a small rescue rope bag with 50' of line, which clips onto the back of my old Stolquist PFD (or pack) and which can be used for additional lining length if necessary.
