I am fixing my trapeze wires on a H 16. Any tips on how to do it so it is easy to adjust etc. What must the thickness of the stretch cord be? Please give it in millimetres. sketches will be appreciated.
Thanks
Kappie

I suggest you look at the catalogs on the Hobie site, Murray's, and also here. ( www.hobiecat.com, www.murrays.com, ) http://store.catsailor.com) and look at the pictures they have of the setups. As for the shock cords, I think 6 or 8mm should be okay. (1/4" or 3/8".) If they specify another size you can just type in Google
0.25 inches to mm
and then it'll come back with
.25 in = 6.35 millimeters

Hey Kappie, where are you based? In Natal I guess? Are you near Durbs? I recently replaced all my wires, and found some good spots to get the cables, handles, cord and plastic covering for the cables. If you are near Durbs, I could give you details. Clint
