With a double ended tether you would have the option of rigging a jackline near the centre line of the boat all the way back to the cockpit or dodger, whatever creates the effective limit. A separate line might be necessary to get from the cockpit to the centre line jackline, but it would be more likely to keep you on the right side of the lifelines once attached. A friend of mine wound up on the outside restrained by a tether one time and according to him it took a particularly cooperative big wave to get him back on board.

I plan to purchase jack lines and tethers and I'm looking for input from listers on your experiences with various types, brands, etc. and any other helpful advice. My inflatable life jacket has a d ring attachment, but is it better to use an harness anyway? Make no difference? Thanks,
