Just a thought. I use those same straps for my electric cords at work and they don't last to long before they won't hold anymore. Of course they get a lot more use on the job site then on a tarp.
Unless your setting up your tarp everyday, that is

Valid concern Snipen....
You are right we do actually get sucked along instead of blown when we are on certain tacks in a sailboat. So I guess that a better term would be Blowin' and suckin' boat. That's is funny too.

opie, can you post a backyard pic of a tarp up in the velcro loops on the ridgeline?
what about shock loops and a small plastic toggle. i saw that you created something like that for tarp attachment.
So....Bernoulli sucks?

Actually, to quote one of my physics professor's t-shirts: "Science doesn't suck!"
Airfoils, either wings or sails, generate lift. It would be more accurate to say that they are pushed, than sucked. The is a high/ambient pressure on the windward side of the sail attempts to move into the low pressure zone on the leeward side the sail is pushed forward.
Sorry, sometimes my physicist side and my sailor side get crossed.
I don't think these guys planned on being taken literally.
And in any case, much depends on your point of view. And sail.
