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?

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.

I've used cleats and/or luggage tags. Joel | _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
