[Rhodes22-list] Michael's fitting for Jack Lines

[Kroposki]

Michael,

      Get out your digital camera and post some pictures of your set up.
Just in case I get the urge to do some Blue Water sailing.  At least I
will know where to start.  Have your wife take a picture of you hooked
to the set up.  

      Do the Chesapeake sailors use jack lines?  How about Lloyd, Mary
Lou, Tom, et al.

      We all know Rummy goes in the drink while drinking.

                       Ed K

I did some single handed sailing last month on SF Bay on a Santana 22
(nice

boat).  Because the wind was blowing hard, and I'd never been on the
boat

before, I asked for jacklines and a harness.  My first experience with
them.

 

What was interesting, and would be reasonably inexpensive was that the

company I chartered the boat from, merely cleated off the webbing straps
to

through bolted bow and stern  horn cleats, just about identical to the

standard cleats on the Rhodes.  Seemed safe and easy, though fortunately
I

never had to put it to the acid test.

their are a four bolt ones with matching backing plate, IRC Shaffer's
from

west, 38$+-, could lift the boat with them, I bolted and

nutted them, should replace the nuts with barrel nuts for a cleaner
look.

 

I have a thought might even do it my self in the fall, make up a 12+-
foot

set of tethers with calibers on the ends(but watch out

they can not open from anouther caliber sliding over), they would go
from

the cabine top padeyes to the bow cleat, use it as a quick

setting jackline, the hook the stanard 6 footer tethers on to it instead
of

the padeye itself.

 

1)same as the pad eye, keeps you in the cockpit,

2)going forward is now no problem and eveything should be short enought
to

keep you out of the prop :-)

3)if you get "caught" can still hook up to the 12 footer to the padeye
and

your self to go forward(watch the prop with this one :-),

and still have the option of quick connects to the padeye and the rear

cleat.

 

BTW do not use the stays, you rip them right out with the side load when
you

need them most :-)

Yeah, I never thought about using any other methods...your hardpoints
are

through-bolted eyelets, sufficiently stout??  Maybe going forward would

entail appropriately time connetion to a stay.

I have a subjection, I have jack line for the boat but I rally use them,

found it easier to install two hardpoint on the cabin top, either side
of

the hatch, backing plates inside the cabin, the area is solid/think
their

for block mounting, I use inflatable life vest with harness and double
ended

tethers, in the case where I need it I connect one end to the cabin top
and

the other to a rear cleat, keeps me in the cockpit no matter what and by

dropping an in permits me to go forward or aft. the only down side verse

full jackline is reaching the forestay.

Michelle and I experienced our first minor off-shore storm last June.
It

came up quickly, though we were on the look out.  I think that it's time
for

jack lines...do you guys have any rigged and if so, how? Thanks in
advance,

Al/Michelle S/V Mishka
