In my limited experience with jacklines, I've always used a double tether
system like Kevin described where you clip to the jackline to move around
but clip the other tether to a fixed point when possible. Having two
tethers on your harness at all times seems preferable to having tethers
stashed a
The J42 I race on has extra tethers at the bow and mast for double clipping
in. I see how they would work in theory, but in practice I wasn't a fan.
Since I have a double tether (short and long), when at the mast and it's
bumpy I leave my long tether on the jackline and clip my short one to a

Hi david.
Tied off at the pushpit, pulpit and threaded through the ring of a shroud
cleat. So they ran about waist height, which makes clipping in and running the
carabiner ahead or behind you a breeze. Also great if you have more than one
person going up on deck. We'd take them down when making
I have never heard of “high” jacklines. What do you attach them to behind the
mast? Dave

Try using high jacklines. Easy to clip into, nothing in your feet to trip on,
and you can grab them as a last resort.
Much preferable to having lines on the deck.

Having done the Annapolis to Bermuda race, as well as a fair amount of offshore
night work (although nowhere near as much as you, Andrew…), I never had any
issues grabbing a hold of and clipping onto a flat jackline without the twists;
and I would definitely have concerns about the tripping haza
I'd always kept them flat(ish), too, but I noted in the Bermuda Race
circular they suggested that they be twisted. made sense to me.

I’ve always kept them flat, though I have heard the twist suggestion before. I
find that if they are twisted, they become more of a tripping hazard, or, as
you say, they can roll under your feet. I understand the primary roll of the
jacklines is to keep you with the boat, but my primary preferen
This is interesting subject for me: I’ve been told to twist the jacklines and
to keep them flat. Twisted I’ve found they have a tendency to roll under your
feet.
Just curious what others do.
