<p>I use line .I have pulled it so tight it crushed the skin on top of the beams making repairs nessesary I add extra glass on top and corners of the beams .anyway keep an eye on it cause it takes a couple of years to show.</p>

<p>Hi all, just found this thread. Was interested in the boat at one stage and downloaded these photo's amounst others. Ralf, you may have already seen trhem but just in case you haven't here they are. Obviously one is a mock up. Darrell, enjoy the boat she looks like a beauty.</p>

<p>Thank you Darrell, I get the picture. I will certainly use the pipe with the thickest wall I can find. But I need to think about the whole thing.</p>

Just a technical note: pipe has a substantially thicker wall than tube, and is correspondingly much stronger.

Hello Ralf - Yes, they are fabricated from tube/pipe. In addition the webbing has only 1 layer over tube with 3 layers over rest of job sewn together.- Darrell<br/>

<p>Darrell, 13 mm nuts means it is 8mm bolts, if everything is metric. Are you saying that Lindsay put it up with tubes (stainless stell pipe) not massive stainless Steel rod? I always thought it were massive rod. Ralf</p>

<p>I also think that tighter is better. Our Tiki 30 was set up with the lashings and the Tiki8ms are also lashed. We get them forever more tight and they will sometimes creak a little but you can't see them move. If you put your hand spanning the beam and the hull you can feel movement.</p>

On our tiki 30 Nok Talay we had rope lashings and they were extremely tight. I never noticed any movement of the beams relative to the hulls more than a millimetre or so. My opinion is no matter what system you use is to get them as tight as possible.

<p>Thanks all for the info</p>
<p>Ralf-Unfortunately we're about 1800 K's from the boat at the minute but at a guess the tube is about 1/2"-13mm -5/8-15mm and the bolts, well they definitely have 13mm nuts so so they're probably 6-7mm.</p>
<p>Will let you know when we're a bit closer - Darrell</p>

<p>Darell, interesting that you own this particular boat. I would tighten the nuts until the web is so tight that you cannot deflect it by hand as Budget Boater says, but I am a novice in this question, still building my T30. I would also use a second nut on each bolt. Once the first nut is as tight as you want it, put a second nut on and turn them both against each other. This will stop the first nut from getting loose by vibration.</p>

<p>I have been interested in Lindsay`s tensioning set-up since I started building. Could you give me the diameter of the stainless steel rod and the bolts he used for his system? I am considering to use it on my boat.</p>
