Hiking straps

Looking to replace my hiking straps, can anyone recomend a web site to order them from?

So the story goes, I took my brother-in-law out this weekend and he wanted to lean out as I was so we can get more wind. As he did, he looked at me and with that twinkle in his I said "This is great!". No sooner did the word great leave his lips, I heard a SNAP! His hiking strap tore and back he went, SPLASH!

Needless to say, with 200+lbs now overboard, it was all I can do to keep her upright. All ended fine, we laughed the rest of the day and now he has a story to tell.

Anyway, any info on replacements would be helpfull.

I made some hiking straps from 2 - 2 1/2 inch webbing (no pads) at a cost of about $15, or you can save time and effort and buy them from Catalina Direct for $60.

Yea, I finally found somthing that could pass for a hiking strap at a local hardware store but did not have the padding and was only 1.5 inches wide. I ended up biting the bullet and purchased a brand-spanking-new set from Catalina for $75 including shipping. I have to install them but they are nice and wide with cushy padding and a nice color blue.

Thanks and happy sailing,

Bigsky,
I bought a 14.2 a few months ago and the previous owner called me last week to give me hiking straps he bought and never used.

I took them, of course, but have no use for them. I am too much of a sedate sailor. Plus, I don't even know how to hook them up - there seem to be 3 in this box all new and no instructions.

Anyway, I have no need for them. I live in Northern Virginia and will let you have them for the cost of shipping to where ever you live.

Let me know - hope you haven't bought any yet :(

Hello Dean:

Are your hiking straps still available? I just purchased a Capri 14.2 and the straps are brittle and have torn in shreds. If they are how do I contact you?

I have offered the straps to another on this thread. If he chooses not to take them, they're up for grabs and that means you're next on the list.

He will have first chance.
