[quote=fxloop]I wouldn't sweat that! I've seen em worn down to 20 threads and work fine, the weight is spread around the whole line when you use it to right the boat. Hell, I've just thrown my jib sheet over the top hull and righted my H16 with no extra righting line at all in a pinch. A lot of people tie in a separate piece of ~3/8" rope that's about 3' long to the bungee, and tie the loose end to the rudder pin, replace every few years. Personally now, I've got a single rope that's about 18' long that's an old main sheet tied to dolphin striker, stuffed in a small Hobie tote bag on center lacing at base of mast with a loop tied 8' down that I hang onto if I flip. @ 220# any assistance at all and the boat pops up in 10 seconds flat haha!<!-- editby --><em>Edited by fxloop on Nov 23, 2014 - 09:55 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
