[quote=carolinacatamarans]A line thrown over the hull has always worked well for me. I had one of those wrap-around bungee types on my H18. I did not like it as much, hard to adjust how much you wanted it to extend and you did seem to use some extra energy with it.
My F-18 has an interesting system on it. It has a 3/8" line that is almost the length of the distance between the beams. It has stopper knots tied on each end. It passes through a pad-eye on the front beam located next to the hull. The other end of that 3/8 has a 1/8" shock cord tied to it. That cord runs through a block on the rear beam and is tied back on the front beam.
When you want to use it, you pull the 3/8 and it extends until the stopper knot hits the pad-eye. It seems nice because the 1/8" shock cord does not add much resistance.[/quote]
