Jack Lines

- Jacklines are an integral part of offshore safety. In this video we'll go over how we have our lines setup, how I like to move around the boat, and some tips and tricks for ease of use and movement while underway.
Twisting the jack line, using it as an anchor point to be able to lean back, practicing releasing at a realistic angle, the guru(?) knot - all great nuggets of information. Thank you for sharing!!
great video, thanks for posting...
Surely one central jackline is safer than ones on the sides, which will drag you through the water? I watched a clip where a guy had the jackline inside the lifeline and stanchions, with a bowline tied in the cockpit to stop him being dragged behind the boat, imo his lanyard would’ve jammed over the first stanchion it came across and drowned him?
Informative.thanks
This is exactly what I have been looking for: a way to tension the webbing. Unfortunately, I can't understand what you're saying. Would be helpful to name the tensioning knot in the description. Thanks!
Thanks for this. I found it helpful despite the critics below! Only thing I don't like is the bow attachment: nylon on nylon friction in the self tightening arrangement seems a risk to me. Good luck with your voyages and thanks again
Thanks! I do agree, it's not the 100% best option.
Why not use a center jack line instead of along the sides?
Different options work better for different people and different boats.
Hi, thanks a lot for your videos!! This is probably the most important stuff you need to know, when on a sailboat!
One question: are there procedures for once you went overboard with a jackline attached and are now dangling around on the outside of the hull? Or is this so irregular that all one can say is just try to climb back aboard in any way you see fit?
The procedure here as this guy describes is you will drown by being drug behind the boat. This is dangerous advice. Do your research on jacklines and going overboard.
Have you fall once?
I know you meant well, yet I turned it off as you were not audible.
Seems like false security here, have you actually tested this system? As in, gone over the lifelines on your harness and been able to pull yourself back on deck? What if the boat is moving 6 knots? The position of your line at the stern, and your long tether makes me think you’d be dragged and drown behind the boat..
This seems way overkill... I do not have much sailing experience, but is all of that really that needed in "normal" weather? It looks like more of a tripping hazard than anything else.
😂😂
The way your Jack lines are run and the length of your tether only insure that after you fall overboard they will find your body attached to the boat. The demonstration of running the Jack line through the shrouds clearly shows that the you could easily fall overboard.
Jack lines should be run down the center of the boat and the tether should be short enough to actually keep you in the boat. Your advise is dangerous.
Good luck cutting away with your second tether line clipped in to your pfd... it will be 3 feet of cut away i guess.
I should definitely have emphasized the importance of removing the second tether prior to cutting away.
over talked
I was extremely grateful for these explanations. Why don't you do your own thing rather than whining about other peoples' work.
The guy loves to be clipped, and he loves to talk and talk and talk and talk and talk.
Sure do!
So many words to talk about a system that doesn't keep him from ending up in the water. Meh.
He's taking all this time to thoroughly explain safety, and all you do is whine? How ungraceful.
He’s explaining a flawed system that will drag you behind a moving boat until you die.. if you use this system, don’t fall overboard!
