My first inclination was to ge a carbiner, that is, until I went to a boat store and noticed a brass clip which hook bends out a tiny bit from the catch so that you can clip something by just sliding it and hooking the other rope even if it is lying flush to the deck. Seemed to be a little better than a carbiner. -- : : Gabriel L Romeu : http://studiofurniture.com furniture from the workshop : http://members.xoom.com/gabrielR life as a tourist, daily journal : http://users.aol.com/romeugp paintings, photographs, etchings, objects *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Fri Dec 10 1999 - 15:05:58 PST
