Re: Stus-List safety tethers - now knives

Hi Brent, It seems your knife matches the description of 22. Torsion bar assisted-opening knives (folding knife, speed-safe knife, spring-assisted knife) – and therefore it is not a prohibited weapon. It should be regarded as a tool. I agree with you in that if you can buy it at Canadian Tir

Re: Stus-List safety tethers - now knives

It is probably legal unless you are involved in criminal activity while carrying it. A baseball bat is legal until you bash someone's head with it, and then it legally becomes a "deadly weapon". Bill Bina On 10/26/2013 2:29 PM, Brent Driedger w

Re: Stus-List safety tethers

If I am unconscious, and off the boat, I'm dead anyway. I single hand a lot. Staying on the boat is more important than anything else. Lots of sailor are disabled by falls against hard objects on board, even without going overboard. Broken ribs make it pretty hard

Re: Stus-List safety tethers

Bill, I wonder if that is a wise swap. Aren't the inflatables designed so that the flotation is all in front of the wearer or behind the neck - and thus likely to turn the wearer face up if unconscious? The Type III are flotation aids and will not turn an unconscious person so their face is out

Re: Stus-List safety tethers

Another tip which I forgot to include - In rough weather, I switch from an inflatable PFD to a jacket style one made of thick foam such as worn by jet skiers. It offers a lot of rib protection. If you fall overboard (or even on board) it increases your survival op

Thanks for the heads up on that one Graham, that modification makes sense. I wonder if any of the local manufacturers (say Mustang) will licence and incorporate that in their own products? Ken H. On 25 October 2013 22:53, Graham Collins wrote: > I'm hoping this will PFD / harness eventually

Re: Stus-List safety tethers

Coupla minor points that could save a life: Andrew is 100% correct that staying on the boat is far superior. If you go in the water you are more likely to die, than not, regardless of anything else. Not only do you need a quick release, but you need to make sure y

Re: Stus-List safety tethers

Mention of tethers in the discussion of waste disposal reminded me that I had wanted to get the wisdom of the group on tethers.  I have never used them or been on a boat with them set up so I am totally ignorant of how this should be done.  I have a inflatable life jacket with a tether attachment b
