@neauoire what's the spool made of? Is it made for holding the boat in all conditions or only calm weather?

@nomand The spool is made of hard plastic, it's usually the leftover spool that comes with when ordering chain.

We used it in pretty rough conditions, but we cleat the line, it doesn't run directly from the spool.

@nomand mhmm, I haven't noticed how canoe stern boats stern tie, I'll pay attention next time we're out and take some pictures of their spool setup if I can :)
