In Response To: S&G: Installing backband in Pygmy Arctic Tern (William Kerrigan)

Usually the back of the backband needs to be supported at the rear combing area. This can be done in many different ways but I usually use a piece of 1/4" rope tied around the middle of the backband strap and through either a padeye or those screw mounted tie downs that would be fastened to the top center of the rear bulkhead.
