[Alberg30] Jack lines?

[Miabarchet at aol.com]

Randy,

I don't know if this message is timely as I just started reading my mail from 
mid April. I added jack lines along each side of the cabin. I used 3/8 double 
braided lines. The aft ends are attached to the forward genoa winch pads. I 
used U-bolts turned sideways and bolted into the front side of the which 
pads. At the forward ends I used U-bolt type pad eyes bolted through the deck 
with baking plates inside the cabin. The forward port and starboard pad eyes 
are forward enough to allow you to work the anchor or foresail. They are also 
brought in toward the centerline enough to hold the jacklines tight to the 
cabin sides. They are so tight they snap into to place if plucked and you 
never know they are there. This arrangement allows me to snap on to the "high 
side" jackline in the cockpit and go forward to work.

As an aside my wife and I have a rule that when one of us in on watch by 
themselves that person wears a harness.
