Lars, I wonder how effective tieing ropes to the straps and to the railing would be on a larger boat... I'd wonder why the straps themselves dont have fittings to be cross-tied, so instead of having just the 2 straps, you'd have something like a # with the 2 straps holding the weight of the vessel, and a smaller strap holding each strap to the other just so the boat cant "slip out" like this one seems to have...
