Lifeline Safety Nets?
Ahoy,
Bit of a re-intro ... Name's Bill, used to post here till life got too damned hectic! My fiance' and I own a 1974 Douglas 32 on the Chesapeake Bay. We're refitting her in preparation for sailing her to Michigan next summer. I'm looking for a source for safety nets to go on our lifelines to help keep our dog on board. Anyone have a reccomended source? I saw a magazine review sometime ago for a company who made them to fit, but I can find neither the article nor anything online ... Thanks, -- Capn Bill S/v Station Omega |

Thanks, Use snow fence or old fishnet. "Custom fitted" "Marine quality" "Pet net" my word, that's like buying a "Marine stereo" with rhinestones on the spokes and digital UPS. Don't bother. Use the dog to practice MOB, he'll smarten up and stay aboard himself. Who wants a stupid dog, anyway? Your boat does have bulwarks, right? Man's best friend, indeed! Tether him. A run around the mast from the companionway, *short* harness lead, cool. Diapers? The tether would also serve human livestock. Does "he" have a lifejacket and non-skid booties / swimfins? A choke chain for pedestrian safety? Terry K |

Look up how to make your own netting: Marlinspike Sailor, etc. Once
you get the knack, it easy and fast. In article , Bill wrote: Ahoy, Bit of a re-intro ... Name's Bill, used to post here till life got too damned hectic!

Check Defenders; they used to sell a woven netting, as opposed to knotted,
for a good bit less $$. You would need to cut it to width. |

Do a search for Memphis Net Company. They sell commerical stuff and the netting found in most baseball parks. I bought my net there by the pound. It was like $15.00 plus frieght and all I had to do was cut to length. The height was perfect. BTW, West Marine wanted about $60 for the same amount. Bill Bill wrote in message ...
