Hooking Up To A Buoy

[blobby]

If I anchor or want to hook up from the stern do I need another clamcleat facing the other way ?

Yes

I have the malibu two xl and even though I live in a town with large harbour the local chandlers never seem open and what ive seen through window are useless and extremely expensive

 

 

there is an ocean kayak prowler fully rigged out to aussie spec in woolacombe adam. it has all electronics, anchor trolly system, rudder and a whole host of other goodies, it may be worth a visit to get an idea on how to fit yours out!

can you not use a side facing clamcleat, instead of two?

You can try it - it may work best mounted mid cockpit though. I prefer to keep the rope away from the cockpit area where there's less chance of accidental release or the rope getting snagged - hence fit one just fore and aft of the cockpit.
