From the pelican striker to the lifting hooks. We loop thru the hand rails
on the hard top. So there would be a disconnect required at that point if
you wanted to proceed much further forward.

Gary, what do you attach the jacklines to? Fore and aft?

Mike Z,
We use jacklines. We would like the MOB pole but I don't see a great place
to put it.
We have a life sling.
We have strobes and whistles on our Life Jackets.
If using a whistle, set up codes in advance of "leaving the boat". For
example two brief sounds means turn boat to starboard 15 degrees. This way
if the boat is nearby but crew cannot see you, they could at least follow
steering commands from you.
I sometimes carry the waterproof VHF in my jacket so I can direct the boat
back to me.
We also have Safety Turtle alarms on our life jackets. If the sensor on our
LJ gets wet then the alarm horn on the boat will sound immediately.
Teach everyone how to hit your MOB button on your Chart Plotter fast. Note
that currents or heavy wind on the surface can sweep persons away from the
GPS track.
Crew movement:
Nobody pees off the side of the boat. If need be use the sugar scoops with
two hands on the rails.
Nobody goes forward without notifying others first. I usually say, I'm
going forward for xxxxx.
Everyone wears a head lamp or has one at hand at night. Red and White
LEDs. Get a comfortable light weight unit that you don't mind wearing.
Hope any of this helps you.
Gary Oelze

We are doing a 150 mile overnight race down the coast. We are five for five
in this race on a Corsair 28R, but this year decided to sail the Seawind
instead and torment the cruising boat fleet. I know how to sail the boat,
but wondered what owners are doing re:
* Rigging jacklines
* Carrying the MOB pole
Or anything else of interest around crew safety in offshore, overnight
sailing. Thanks in advance,
Michael Zotzky
