    Just a quick question

    Say i had an old wetsuit, and cut it at the waist, to wear on hot days, how could i seal the cut (seal as in you would burn the tip of a cut rope to keep it form fraying). or would just cutting it be fine.

    Clew tie down required?

    I THINK that if the line is, in my terms, 'deadended' than it should be legal. what i mean is, have some slacked line between the two functions (outhaul-tie down) and that might make that possible. but than again, im PROBIBLY wrong. What is the tacticts in haveing an outhaul-tiedown line?
