Thank you all for the additional responses.
I was interested in Dave's solution on his blog of using industrial sling 
material so I did a quick Google search for the same and came up with this:
Nylon Slings, Lifting Straps, Nylon Lifting Slings & Web Slings 
They divide their load ratings into 3 types: Choker, Vertical, and Basket.  I'm 
thinking that the Vertical load would be most similar to a sailing application. 
  It appears they have a number of pre-made sizes, lengths, and loads, but will 
custom make a sling for you as well. The Type 3 Eye to Eye and the Type 4 Eye & 
Eye Twist (getting to the criteria on Dave's blog about how some feel a twist 
makes it easier to pick up) seem like they might have some promise?  Thoughts?

Fred, Bill, and Joel, Thanks for the quick and helpful responses. I was poking 
around on the Defender and West Marine Websites already this morning to get 
some ideas, but had no basis for making a choice.  Your responses will help.  
If I do end up buying from Defender, will definitely wait for the sale! Joel, 
any particular specs on the climbing webbing??  I'm not familiar with climbing 
gear. Thanks again everybody, Graham

I've purchased the webbing from REI, but it is only 4,000 pound rated.  I've 
used cleats and/or luggage tags.
