>>> 2m hoses do not make for easy kitting up >>> in limited space on a choppy sea > >> What's so hard about grabbing the long hose and throwing the reg round >>your neck? If you have trouble doing this, you must have trouble >>dressing yourself in the morning. Fantastic. Now imagine a small deck with 4 or 6 rigs on it, You're sitting on a pitching sponson, vying for space with 5 other people. While you're donning your rig that big hose is flapping round somewhere, waiting to snag something on the deck, sponson lines or flop in the water. Or your helper can hold it - but if they're seated on your left they need to reach behind you & drag it out. Its not much work, but its work. once in the water the 2m hose is excellent, no argument. you dont need assistance with a 32" hose when kitting up, it hangs by ones bum until needed. go on Bill, say it: "a 32 inch hose is less grief than a 2m one when kitting up on RIB's". I promise you probably wont burst into flames, but if you cant face this simple fact then how much credibility have your other arguments?
