One poster wrote of epoxying wood strips down and screwing straps into them. I've thought of epoxying down the D-ring patches sold to glue to rubber rafts. Not sure if this would work or not. Any other ideas of how to attach D-rings to the inside of the hull in such as way that they can still be laid flat against the surface? Thanks for your suggestions. -Kevin Zembower -- kevinz_at_charm.net Kevin Zembower On Mon, 19 Aug 2002, Keith Rodgers wrote: > Having got that of my chest, my ballast consists of a flat-sided plastic > gallon container (used to hold anti-freeze) positioned on the keelson in the > day-hatch and held firmly in place with two straps rigged with "D" rings and > Velcro.
