[C38] Jack Line

[mark turner]

In bad weather or at night you should be able to clip on before coming up from below, and clip off when you have returned below.... the simplest way to achieve this is to mount a padeye each side of the forward end of the cockpit that can be reached from inside the cabin. You can just see my starboard one in this picture. It can be easily used by feel.
Crew are most very vulnerable when coming up from down below, especially if they have just woken to come on watch, so they really should have this sort of protection. I wouldn't consider a night passage without this facility... espescially as it is so inexpensive and a quick job to fit them! Hope the picture came out ok.

  Mark, not sure I understand about the pad eyes, Where are they located?

  I run the flat webbing from right forward on the toe rail to right aft level with the wheel. If you come inside the shrouds it gives a clear run for the whole length of the boat.
  Don't forget the padeyes at the forward end of the cockpit so that you can clip on before coming on deck and clip of after going below.

    I need to set up my boat for Category II PIYA and would appreciate ideas on how others have fabricated and secured Jack Lines.   The simplest seems to be flat webbing secured at the mooring cleats.  Thanks
