Description
Wichard Standard Harness Line complete with 2 standard stainless steel carbine hooks and elastic webbing. Expands from 1 to two metres.
Complies with European standard CE EN 1095. The elastic retracts or stretches as needed to minimise the chances of snagging, allowing maximum mobility on deck without compromising safety.
Safety lines on yachts, also known as lifelines, jackstays or jacklines, are essential safety features designed to prevent crew members from falling overboard while on deck. They are typically made of strong, durable materials such as stainless steel wire or synthetic rope and are attached along the perimeter of the yacht's deck.
Safety lines serve as a barrier or tethering system to keep crew members safely on deck while allowing them to move around freely. They are particularly important in rough seas or adverse weather conditions when the risk of falling overboard is greater.
Jackstays are typically installed along the edges of the deck, running from the bow to the stern and often supported by stanchions or posts. They may also be rigged across the deck at strategic points.
Crew members wear safety harnesses that are connected to the safety lines using snap hooks or carabiners. These attachment points allow crew members to move along the deck while remaining securely tethered to the yacht. Safety lines should be adjustable to accommodate different yacht configurations, crew sizes, and sailing conditions. They may have tensioning devices or adjustable length sections to ensure a snug fit and proper tensioning.
RORC nad other yachting bodies ensure that yachts are subject to safety regulations and standards that dictate the design and installation of safety lines. Compliance with these regulations is essential to ensure the safety of the crew. Regular inspection, maintenance, and proper usage of safety lines are essential to their effectiveness in preventing accidents and injuries.
