Bob, you miss a very important point. Lifelines won't keep you attached to
your boat. A jackline, tether and harness WILL. Lifelines aren't designed to
keep you attached to your boat. Jacklines, tethers and harnesses are. Maybe
the usage thing is bothering you. You said lifelines are "important" bits of
safety equipment, I disagreed and still do with the word "important". I
can't think of a real good example, but I'll try this. If you were to go
offshore, a liferaft would be an "important" piece of safety equipment, an
inflatable dinghy would not.

Bottom line, it is a serious mistake to rely
on lifelines to keep you on a sailboat, even in moderate conditions. If
lifelines were an important safety feature there wouldn't be such a thing

as
jacklines.

By that measure, if jacklines were an important safety feature there

wouldn't
be such a think as lifelines...or flare guns for that matter.
All safety gear works together and ALL of it is VERY important.

But, most of us don't race offshore.And most of don't have boats equipped to
offshore specs. And, there was one recent example of a noted racer on the
East Coast, who got coshed on the head by a spinnaker pole, went overboard
and drowned, in spite of those all-important lifelines.There was talk
afterwards about requiring auto pfds but nothing mentioned about modifying
lifelines. I think the folks that write these regulations know that the
lifelines will only prevent someone from going over under optimum
conditions, a conscious, mobile person can grab something before they go.
http://www.sailing.org/offshore/2004...egulations.pdf

http://www.heathcote.co.za/archive/ssn155.htm
A link to the story, and again, in the aftermath, nothing about making
lifelines an "important" piece of mandatory safety equipment, just talk
about the pfd's, one other bit about mandating helmets. So again, I would
guess it would be how you define important. The regulations speak of
lifelines forming an "effectively continuous barrier around a working deck
for man overboard prevention" but I wouldn't stake my life on it. BTW, if
you read an earlier post I mentioned an incident last summer where I almost
got washed overboard, I ended up hanging over the side underneath the
intermediate lifeline with the water nearly up to my crotch. The stanchion
prevented me from going overboard because I grabbed it. If I hadn't been
able to grab it I probably would have gone overboard. And I doubt if Bob's
boat is built to those offshore specs either. It's all just semantics, I
reckon.

Hmmm and if you were sailing on your local pond in conditions that did
not warrant wearing a harness, slipped and would have fallen over the
side without lifelines, would you then regard the lifelines as
"important" pieces of safety equipment.

Before you answer, note that a huge number of deaths from dropping
over the side are of unconscious crew who drown before retrieval and
that to race offshore you must have lifelines to the stage that their
construction is regulated.

I agree with this, well mostly. I'm not sure I agree with the blanket

"rough" water, rough enough to be careful when going forward on a deck.

more there.

your voyage, you can't prove a thing either. Still, many of the issues we

Yeah, as far as you know... which isn't very far.

You're the WINNER when it comes to getting nasty for no
reason, so go f*ck yourself. You were at least tolerable
when you were a blatant asshole. Now, you're just a wimp.

What diff does it make if he's offshore or not. As far as I know, NO ONE

here
has done any serious sailing-crossed oceans and such. Unless you have

video of
your voyage, you can't prove a thing either. Still, many of the issues we
debate here can be discussed, even by an armchair sailor. I see no reason

to
become nasty over an opinion, just because it fails to match your own.
Most of us are coastal sailors and some are on lakes. The idea that

conditions
can't get bad on the LI sound or on lakes or anywhere is plain silly.

I take it the answer is, "None".


From: "Jonathan Ganz"


I think you need to get different meds. You're out of control.
This is too ludicrous to respond to... I think it's time to plonk.

jonny, obviously you can't sail if you have never been under fire in

combat.

So, how many Purple Hearts do you have?

Proves nothing... a bunch of words. I'm especially suspicious of the
"I tolerate everyone short term, and with a Will Rogers-like smile"
line. That's obviously bs, since you're so obviously thin-skinned
here.

2.
You
exist as anything more than some lacking any imagination whatsoever.

BTW,
all this talk about measuring dicks might lead someone to believe that
you're closeted. You might be happier if you came out, some folks

might
give
you grief, but that's their problem. BTW, again, Matt probably has

more
experience than anyone else I've encountered in this ng., period. I

would
say you were stupid, but no one can possibly be that stupid, so the

only
thing that I can conclude is that you need professional help.

the fetch is a bit
more there.


You've learned about fetch??? Congrats. I'm really impressed. I seem
to remember that the last time that we discussed fetch, you got a bit
upset.


Soon, you'll be able to find the Gulf Stream.

jonny, it means you didn't understand the context of the sentence,

therefore
the substitution of one letter for another and the elimination of a

third
letter in a message of maybe ninety letters has left you completely

baffled.



Rubbish!
