I'll be converting to strap on Koesh when she goes back in. That'll be a while, though...drilled some holes to check the wet areas below the turn of the aft bilge and found compost. Got the new balsa (yeah....going back) and I'll be carving away on the outer skin as soon as it's warm and dry enough here in Oregon.
If you go to strap, a friend of mine recommends using a double figure-eight as per climbing practice for tying it in. VERY secure!
