• Remember the high lifeline shroudcleat?... a variant is available (finally)
  • Wow, 300 bucks for a pair. Hard to believe that is what the market will bare.
    • Specialized safety stuff
      • I don't know Charlie.
        • Thanks Paul!
  • Did you take this idea to Garhauer? They would probably make it for 1/3 the price
    • Now you ask!
  • That price is really steep, especially for aluminum
    • Prototype was alu, follow link to CS Johnson for photo of SS fairlead
    • Sorry.. CAD file was lost to history
  • Congratulations, Charlie
    • Tom, I met some folks up in Alaska who'd been to NZ and back who swore by having high jacklines
      • I've pretty much abandoned the use of jacklines on my boat...
        • Tethers.
        • Multiple tethers-- great idea!
        • Jon, the few times I've used them on my boat, I haven't liked them --boom brake control in the way, etc. Nice idea you
          • Jacklines on deck, that is (hence my interest in the high-up ones, attached to the shrouds that Charlie mentioned.
        • BTW, awesome pic, Jon...very alive...I can feel the boat climbing the wave...-
    • Thx! Hey- it's the tether for your future jury-rig mast!
