All of this talk about safety has got me to thinking about using a harness
and tether on my M15, since I sail alone a lot of the time. It appears that
the tethers I've looked at are around six feet long. I'm thinking that the
attachment point should be on the stern,so that in the event that one did
go overboard one could end up behind the boat and use the stern ladder to
get back in. My initial thought was on the teak strip that the cb pennant
comes through...but, with only six feet of tether, one would end up being
dragged along the side of the boat, and trying to board over the side , most
likely in rough weather. I haven't tried boarding over the side by myself,
as I doubt I'd make it!! The first thing I did when I got my boat was to
install a transom mounted ladder - it does work! What are people's
thoughts? Jon in Walla Walla
