I want to either buy or make a few sets of hiking straps for my 17' Daysailer clone. My setup is a little different than the usual daysailer, so, while I can obviously through-mount hardware for the hiking straps on the transom, since I have no cuddy lip on my model (it might look like a lip on the picture but it's actually a ledge to an elevated cuddy shelf, with no access from behind) -- I'm guessing I need to epoxy/glass hardware somewhere forward for mounting the straps. And, since transom to cuddy is a long span, having some middle mount to split the strap in two, or at least loop it through, maybe on the centerboard trunk? In general, I'm also just unsure of how tight/how close to centerline hiking straps should be. Here's my boat for reference.
