In Response To: Re: Other: "Extra" Outfitting - "D" Rings (Brian Nystrom)

: It sounds like a good idea. The way this is often done in 'glass boats is to
: epoxy pieces of webbing holding the rings directly to the hull. Epoxy
: saturated webbing is very strong.

If that's the case, I could just loop the webbing and skip the actual D-Ring... at least inside the hatches. That would certainly be lighter, just as easy, and a lot cheaper.

For the security ring, I'd want to do something that a pocket knife couldn't cut through, which means the webbing would have to be totally under the expoxy, as you stated. If I was careful, I could rig it up good and strong, but still allow the ring to move reasonably freely.

Thanks!

Rick
