Chris at Dwonwind marine helped us with fabricating a dingy lock. We bought 25’ of heavy life line and two crimps for the cable. Actually Downwind did not have enough of the heavy life line so Chris sent us over the Sailing Supply to get it. Also Downwind did not have a large enough crimper to do the job. Chris said 25’ was needed in case we had to climb ove a couple dingys at a busy ding dock, makes sense. The eyes a made small so they can be squeezed together and slit in through the ole in the dock cleat. The other end is around the motor lock or some other way locked to the boat etc.
So we went to the rig shop at Sailing Supply and Debbie and I got into a music conversation Ed the rigger. Seems he plays in a locals band with his guitar. He offered for us to come jam with them or him but we are leaving town. So Ed crimped up the cable and off we went with our new dingy lock up cable.
