I bought some of these nylon pad-eyes at a local marine shop.  They had a
few of them in white but not enough to complete my Northbay so I got a
bunch of blacks ones that come in little 4 packs.  Some people might think
it's a bit too thin but I used parachute cord for the deckline itselt and
bought it at a outdoor store for about $6 for a 50' length.
