On my Chrysler 22 I had installed a bungee running on each side down the stanchions. I would use it to bungee across to control the jib while motoring out or after dropping the sail.
I am thinking of doing the same thing on my current boat. I ordered some bungee to do this. For some reason 3/8" seemed like a good number for bungee thickness, It is ridiculously thick. I am looking for suggestions on how to make this happen.
What size bungee?
How to tie or secure bungee to a stanchion?
What kind of hooks?

I remember from an article or discussion about seaweed based rubber bands for spinnaker launching. Does such a thing as an environmentally safe rubber band exist?
