In Response To: Re: Adequate Deck Rigging? (Shawn Baker)

right with you on simple things that make sense. Parallel forward deck bungies work better than criscrossing all over the place. People seem to grab bungie lines more often when they're mixed up with perimeter lines of the same size and color. The most versatile line on my Express is a doubled,or tripled length of 1/4" polyyachtbraid between recessed cleats and the front u-bolt. It's thick enough to not hurt, loose enough even when tight to grab from either side to flip it over, can be a painter in five seconds and short tow line (20ft) in about 30seconds, and floats. Well, that makes a consensus I'd say!
