Reply to: Hobie 14 jib block advice needed

[quote=pbegle]We don't need #7 grommets for our Tornado wire that goes under the tramp to carry the jib blocks. Simply use a #4. The trick is turn boat or platform upside down. Attach wire to turbo chainplate (with tramp installed & grommet where you want it). Run end of wire thru one slot in nicopress sleeve, then swing it around to come in from the same direction into other slot. This forms a loop (without a thimble) which you can squeeze a little to go thru the #4 grommet. Compress the sleeve and continue over to other grommet & do the same. Finally connect to other chainplate. All our Tornados on our beach have used this system for several years. I like a double reinforcement patch before setting grommets. In addition we use discarded pieces of garden hose to fully incase the wire so we don't feel it crossing the tramp. Pete[/quote]
