Hi Just bought some new hiking straps and buckles for the bravo but for the life of me I can't seem to thread them so they won't pull out! Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. |

Aren't the hiking straps just tied together? |

the original webbing was just threaded through the plastic buckle however I can't seem to thread the webbing through the buckle so they don't slip out. Not sure if the're long enough to tie knots anyhow. I should have taken a photo of the original setup before throwing the old ones out. (Having capsized in the sea earlier this year and dislocating my shoulder I'm not taking any unlikely chances before I sail her again. So I have been replacing any possible weaknesses due to it being a 5 year old boat - glad I replace the handles which broke the first day I used it - as I couldn't climb back on and had to hold on one of the back handles till I drifted back to shore - about 1 km). P.s. If I can tie the webbing together any suggestions of what sort of knot? |

Have you been back-threading for the last step? It is the same thing done in climbing harnesses and belts to prevent slipping. You know, like an old, three-post belt (boy scout style). |

Brilliant! Thanks Spyeder. I've doubled over one end and then back threaded both ends on the buckle! I now can't budge it! (What a relief!) |
