Spardo:
I didn’t know that roping was against the law now but if it is I think it is a shame as, properly done, it was as safe as ratchets and straps. More flexible in fact for getting round awkward bits and it is possible that straps lead to over confidence with less areas being secured.Regarding curtainsiders, there has always been a doubt with hidden security/non security because of the long history in continental Europe of tilts.
Hiya,
Tilts, now that is a dirty word especially when your notes stated
“seal only to be broken by recipient”.I’d rather rope and sheet
two 40 footers than ■■■■ about putting a tilt back together when
picked up ready stripped down.
