Thanks for letting us know that you have a 35/3.nice boat and a good performer too.We have harnesses and tethers. I wear mine most of the time and always when sailing alone .I need to stay on board.all sail control lines are lead to the cockpit but mostly I sail with headsail only when alone.3 attachment points for the tether in the cockpit, 1 aft of the helm and 2 forward near the winches one to port the other to stbd.it's not uncomfortable or inconvenient.I disconnect to go below and let AUTO look after things until I return but I make sure the course ahead is clear and I keep an eye on things regularly just to make sure AUTO is behaving.self tailing winches and AUTO help with tacking.I recommend harness and tether to anyone who sails alone no matter where or what conditions.my boat would not make it back home without me and I would likely not make it back home without it Dwight Veinot C&C 35 MKII, Alianna Head of St. Margaret's Bay, NS _____ From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Joel Aronson Sent: November 13, 2012 5:13 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List EPIRB/ PLB Makes sense! I stopped putting out the horseshoe ring while single handing. I didn't think I could grab it as I went over the side!

It's a compromise, but better than nothing if I am watching my boat sail off into distance. Would you pay $200 to see a helicopter coming straight at you? Duh.

The automatic ones are good for a sudden disaster where you are literally diving off the boat in what you are wearing.

I know the EPIRB is registered to the boat and the PLB is not. I know the EPIRB is good for 48 hours, the PLB is good for 24. If I get out of the Bay it will be to New England or possibly Bermuda (in my dreams). Which would you buy? If an EPIRB, Type I automatic or Type 2 manual? -- Joel 35/3 The Office Annapolis 301 541 <tel:301%20541%208551> 8551 _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com -- Joel 301 541 <tel:301%20541%208551> 8551 -- Joel 301 541 <tel:301%20541%208551> 8551 _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com -- Joel 301 541 8551 _____ No virus found in this message.
