Jack Lines
I own an Alberg 30 along with a open 40 for solo sailing I have done the Alantic solo race , many Great Lakes solo races I currentley have the current
record for the fastest mono hull in the Port Huron to Mac. Island Race (solo) and prepairing the race boat for the Around Alone Race. Jack lines make it two
less streach (webbing). When sailing on the Atantic ect I change over to dieform wire no streach but can roll under your foot . your choice.
