Abstract: A watercraft leash assembly has a leash cord construction comprising an elongate, elastomeric cord body having a reinforcing element embedded therein. The reinforcing element may comprise a co-extruded filament which is helical or other non-linear shape when the leash cord is in a non-extended condition, and which straightens as the leash cord extends.

Abstract: A fin plug (10) for installation in a water craft, said fin plug (10) including: a first open cavity (20) adapted to receive a base portion (15) of a water craft fin (50); and, a resilient biasing rod (30) and a protruding member (35) cooperating with the biasing rod, said protruding member being adapted to abut the base portion (15) of said fin (50) when received in said first open cavity (20); wherein said biasing rod and protruding member are adapted to apply a force to the base portion of said fin to inhibit removal of said fin from said first open cavity.

Abstract: A leash assembly (110) for watercraft users with an elongate composite horn (112) and extended base (128) providing a superior stand-off distance for the leash cord. In addition, an over-braided sheathed cord (114) provides substantial improvements in use with respect to elongation, strength and tangling. The leash assembly (110) may also feature a low hydrodynamic drag rail saver, non-slip arrangement for the cuff (116) and a unique pull tab (119) release for the cuff (116).

Abstract: A securing arrangement for securing a water craft fin to a water craft having a fin plug, the fin plug having a first open cavity configured to receive a base portion (4018) of the water craft fin. The securing arrangement includes a resilient biasing rod (4030) and a protruding member (4035) cooperating with the biasing rod (4030). The protruding member (4035) is adapted to actuate when the base portion (4018) of the fin is inserted into the first open cavity of the fin plug so that the biasing rod (4030) and the protruding member (4035) inhibit removal of the fin from the first open cavity.
