From: "Mel Grindol" <mel_at_grindol.com> > I do have a question: What type of rope do you use? And do you rely on > some form of tensioner for the rope or just use a good knot (and if so > which one)? I use either light nylon or polyester braided line. For knots, I use a midshipman's (aka tautline) hitch at the grommet end. For the other end (tree, deadman whatever) I use whatever works (bowline and timber hitch variants mostly) Mike *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
