Foul Weather Strop

What is one?

[BogMonster]

I have a "foul weather strop" whenever I was looking forward to a days RIBbing and it is too windy/wet/cold/etc

Probably not what you meant though ...

[DGR]

It's when you've been planning trip out on the the RIB for weeks, and the forecast is perfect, plans are made, preparations complete - and then you wake up in the morning, and it's blowing a F8 and it's crap.

You go and kick the cat, the dog, and anything else you can get your foot anywhere near.

Now THAT is a Foul Weather Strop.

Ratchet strap or similar attached over the bow to stop the tubes parting company with the hull in the event of a stuff.

I was going to use one but as I have a 7' sunbed/raised deck in the bow there is a lot more area for the tubes to be attached to so not needed.

I have 6 of these all securing 360 around the tubes.
Being ex-mod(the boat that is) its a bit over engineered.
