Brian -

How well do the sliders keep tension on the cords and is there a certain relationship between the length of the cords and the separation between the ends of the cords? In other words, is there some geometry to the whole rig or do you just fiddle with it till it's right?

I've never been too fond of bungees but those sliders just look like they'd work themselves loose. I'll be rigging up my first boat in a month or two.
