bungee sail ties on the boom?

Post by ElHeffe »

Has anyone come up with a good way to have not-messy sail ties attached to the boom?

By "not-messy" I mean no dangling when underway. Not too visually cluttering. Easy to wrap around the yard and boom right after dropping the yard.

Seems like a tall order, but I'm sure someone has come up with a workable plan.

[quote][/quote]I've been using that product for more than several years. The price is right. Works well!

Only negative is the minimal weight of the bungee lines and eye-strap hardware.
Also a bit more clutter on the boom.

For years I used sailcloth strip's with Velcro on the ends. Now there is brilliant product , double sided (hooks on one side loops on the other)Velcro so you can make it as short or long and as tight as you like.
