Thanks to you and dr. wilson for the information. Very helpful. Would I use spinnaker type cordage for the aft lines and what's the preferred method for securing to the sling. -Joe

:: The grainger part number for the one I bought is 3KN81.
:: It is a yellow sling, 4 feet in length, and capable of
:: holding 6700 lbs. The cost in the catalog is $22.15.

:: Hope this helps.

:: :: I believe you can get them from Grainger as well. Svens
:: :: use to carry them but not sure if they still do. Just
