Don't tell me you all wear rigid jackets. Btw, Pdqaltair aside, do you all wear your lifejackets all the time? Honestly... 
Thanks, I'm glad to be here (first day)! |
A single jackline can be rigged in minutes using a spring
line from front
cleat to aft (this is what you do when delivering a boat that is ill equipped--been there). We're not talking Southern Ocean here, and the kids would not be on deck in the rough. In fact, if it is rough
you'll need the jacklines.
It's cold here in Maryland now. PFD
every time in the tender and the
harness goes on
before I leave the dock (I am forced to sail single-handed in cool weather it seems). I'm not a fool; I tailor my precautions to the situation and cold water kills.
