Hi Tom,

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by *clips*.  Do you mean the 
little nylon pad-eyes? (the little loops that bungies are often 
threaded through on deck).  Or do you mean something more like a 
biner arrangement for doubling up lengths of line?  Are you wanting 
to install perimeter lines?  Tow lines?  Or bungie rigging fore and 
aft for things like holding charts, deck bags, securing paddle 
floats, etc.?

In any case, I know of at least one place you could order most 
miscellaneous hardware items from online - they're in Seattle.  
Northwest Outdoor Center (NWOC).  Their web site is: 
http://www.nwoc.com  (I'm not affiliated with them in any way - 
except that I've bought a lot of gear from them).

Good luck!

Melissa
