"Capt. JG" wrote in message ... "KLC Lewis" wrote in message et... I think I'm going to try a variation on one of the previously-mentioned ideas: Short painter (three boat lengths, or 100 feet for good measure) but additional MOB line (same polypropylene or other floating line) on a spool. Quick release on the spool would allow the rest of the painter (as MOB line) to pay out while the boat encircles the MOB. I think it's worth experimenting with. The inflatable stays attached to the boat, as does the line. How are you planning on trying it? -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com Oh, I figure I'll pick up an expendable crewman at the marina and toss them overboard. That's what Captain Kirk would do. |
