my three year old system uses cheap pulleys and shackles and cheap cotton rope from a hardware store. Works fine. i effectively have one rope to pull on. I use two extra pulleys fastened to the ceiling/beams in line more or less with the centre of the boat. both the bow and stern ropes run back to, and through, these from their respective pulleys, then down into and through a ring bolt screwed into the wall. THis brings them together so they can be pulled as one, and up goes the boat. nick *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Tue Oct 05 1999 - 16:46:34 PDT
