Sorry for coming back so late; I did not realized I had my responses.

Hmm, I put in the shock cord but really it seems to only keep the line taught when attached to the boom and not in use. It only takes a couple of pounds before the amsteel takes the load. Am I doing something wrong?

Did I say 36ft boat? Well is 42, so probably not that much different. The 5/16 is the amsteel on the boom. I used that because I had it left over from the life lines.
So I gather that I should warp speed or something similar for the deck pieces?
