Mike, I was just down at CLC picking up my Ches17Lite plans. I didn't like the nails showing on their boats, so I'm interested in the rope method. How did you tighten the ropes down? Turniquet style, by using a stick and twisting, then tying off one end? I'm still debating over painting or not, so if I don't paint, I'll try to bypass the nails.
