[Public-list] public-list Digest, Vol 1007, Issue 2

[Cole, Andrew L]

Isn't there a traditional "yachtie" way to do this by inserting
something into the middle of the three strand dock line, perhaps some
thick shock cord or something similar, possibly with a stitch or two to
keep it in place (seems like the sort of thing a traditional rigger
would do)?

Gord, I'd have expected you to chime in with a simple but elegant and
effective solution already, must be working hard on the next story
installment ;0)
