Mention of tethers in the discussion of waste disposal reminded me that I had wanted to get the wisdom of the group on tethers. I have never used them or been on a boat with them set up so I am totally ignorant of how this should be done. I have a inflatable life jacket with a tether attachment buckle and a elastic tether, but I have not bought a set of jacklines, nor am I sure the best way to set it up. Two jacklines running halfway between midline and rail? One down the middle? Store bought system or cobbled together? Attach to padeye at front, but then running through the cockpit or just to companionway. Attached to what there? If this is overkill for coastal cruising and shorthanded club racing, then that would be good to know also. I often sail the boat single handed and try not to leave the cockpit to go forward, but I have to sometimes and wonder if I should always be tethered even in moderate conditions. Thanks- Dave
