Does anyone have any suggestions >about how to anchor the hooks in the concrete? hi Irene et al! Two options. The first and best choice is to drill and install a regular concrete anchor. As this involves a minimum of a 1/4 inch hole drilled 1 1/2 inches deep into the 'crete, which might tend to annoy the building owner, a more lease-friendly option would be to use a good two part epoxy to stick a couple of steel rings to the ceiling. Strip off any paint, then clean the concrete real well with muriatic acid or concentrated vinegar and a stiff brush. You should have no problem getting a good bond; in fact the concrete will probably fracture before the epoxy. Clean 'em off with heat and a sharp chisel when you move. BTW, as I promised the gang last week, I have tried using the "Barge Cement" product on a poly (in this case Nalgene) bottle. Darned if it didn't peel right off. I scuffed the surface up real well with a rasp from a bicycle tube patch kit and tried again with better but not spectacular results. Can't really recommend that product for use on your plastic boat. So it goes. ByeBye!
