Title: Palm 3m river tow
Post by: kmck on November 03, 2013, 08:25:26

I won a prize at a raffle, thought it was a Zambezi belt turned out is was a river tow. Retail is €39:90
€30 or nearest offer. Useful if you don't have a rescue BA and want to tow

I think what Ross means is..."What would you actually (safely) use it for on a river?"


Might be better off trying to off-load this on facebook?

Well, I was actually wondering what it was, and now I know, and I know that I don't need one...

Would it be any use to me? Or am I as well off to wait for a few months till I have money to buy my own B.A. with all the necessary bells and whistles..? ??? ???

I'm with Niall on this. What on earth to you want a 3m tow line for? Can you imagine towing a boat on a 3m line into an eddie!

Fair enough. Maes no difference though - my current one is for men. It has the same buoyancy as my current one. And full rescue harness.

I think if your asking that question, you probably don't need it.
