I was checking the PFD's, harnesses and tethers before a race couple weeks ago. When I pulled the release on one of the tether's "human" end snap shackle, it disintegrated. The snap shackle could not been released if needed. Very dangerous situation. Please check your safety gear often!! The t

Strange to see your comment on a shackle. I had a new shackle on a new spin sheet blow this week. Luckily all the parts were trapped by the famous C&C toe rail. Thanks for the advice on searching out heavier rings which I likely should have for a sheet. I have taped the ring so there is no end

I thought these tethers were recalled due to the slip rings. May have been thinking of something else but check with West Marine. I have a mixed relationship with them, hate them but they do stand behind their products and some stores are very good. My local store happens to have old sailors workin

Looks similar but mine is blue and not stretchy. Same snap shackle perhaps. Reassuring to see the 60 lb pull number in the article. I think my fix will withstand that. Dennis C. On Sun, Jul 8, 2018 at 4:12 PM, Paul Wyand via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > I thought these tethers w

My Raymarine wheel pilot has given up the ghost and I am considering a below deck hydraulic replacement. The cost is reasonable since most of my Raymarine stuff will be used by the hydraulic unit. My concern is how responsive (or not!) the wheel will be when the pilot is disengaged. With the w
