HELP....I've almost completed my second Baidarka and I need some good
tips for attaching deck rigging...on the first boat I made small
hardwood loops that I screwed to the top of the gunwales and then
threaded the lines through these loops...this worked OK but I'd like to
find a different method....I'm toying with the idea of "pegging" rope
loops at the points I want the deck rigging attached to the deck...I've
seen one or two other boats with ropes pegged into the side of the
gunwales and this seemed to work OK....anyone have any other method they
use that might work for me???? any assistance in this regard would be
greatly appreciated.....Russell
