Some OC1's such as the Wai Nui and Hiko had a plastic bracket on the back deck to hold a spare paddle. The bracket held the the paddle shaft near the top and the blade went under the bungie behind the seat/rear iako.
I just use two tarp bungies to strap my spare paddle to my rear iako. The same two bungies I use to keep my iakos together when I de-rig my canoe.

What set up do you have for carrying a back up paddle? Anything besides attaching to rear iako? I saw a guy with it mounted behind the seat on the deck, but not sure what was using to fasten it.
