Yak cowtail

Elasticated line with large open Karabiner

With a cowtail you can short-tow a partner in need of assistence, keep your kayak from drifting away after a wet exit, hang on to your paddle if you need both hands free for rescue, and clip into a throw line for an open-water tow.

A cowtail can be clipped directly to the bow of a kayak that needs a quick tow to move to safety.
