Much to the delight of my friends who were watching me sail in heavy air, my hiking strap broke yesterday.
It is the original that came with the boat. I think the boat is a 1982. I have seen some nice replacements in the Annapolis Performance Sailing Catalog, and the Layline catalog. I was thinking about getting a padded one this time. I was wondering what the drawbacks (if any) are. The large, 5" models look like it might be a bit to big in an already cluttered cockpit so I was going to go with the stock size.
Please let me know what your preferences are and why. Thanks.
Also, any opinions on the two mentioned mail order services would be appreciated. I have never dealt with either one.
Thanks,
