Jack Lines
A jack line is a safety line you string up on your boat that
you attach the safety that is attached to you to so you cannot be washed
overboard in bad weather. You need string the jack line to solid cleats or
things that are well bolted down…..that would support your weight. It should
also be where you can clip to it easily, It is nice to be able to lip to it
while you are still in the boat hatch way where you still have something to
hold on to before coming out. You need more than one jack line. One line that
is in the cockpit and one that runs up each side of the boat. If you have to go
to the front of the boat always hook to the jack line on the high side of the
boat. You need to have lines that you can use for jack lines on the boat at all
times. Weather is unpredictable.
