Hi All;

After months of being unable to get to the rigging on my 'yak, it is finally underway. As you'll recall, I wanted to use Joe Greenley's "soft loop" approach. I ended up using some of the spruce strip I trimmed the deck with, cutting it into 2" long blocks. I seems like it will be plenty strong enough after the spruce & webbing were epoxied together.

I've got a few more pics of the process on my kayak pages, given below. Click on the "Finish" link and scroll down near the bottom.

Best Regards, Spidey
