A sailor should always have his 'rigging knife' handy and attached to him
by
a lanyard.
You never know when you have to cut something loose.
That's a real tragady.


I agree regarding the knife. A good crewman should never report on board
without a good sharp knife. And a good skipper should provide a knife to any
crew member who doesn't have one.. ( keep several of the SS rigger knives I
get at WM on sale for about $8-9 )
