It really depends on the particular boat. Some boats have lots of deck
outboard of the shrouds, some don't.

Hi Jonathan,
My preference is outside the shrouds and use the high side for
transit. I feel there is no clear consensus amongst skippers, seems
pretty close to 50 - 50 which way to go with the jacklines.

Every time I have used a jackline, it has been outside of the shrouds.
Since my role as a crew member has normally been the bowman/foredeck, I
have had the opportunity to actually use the jackline(s) in both
daylight and art night and I have found maneuvering around shrouds is
usually
and the anchor, but it helps me stay
on the boat.

Again, thanks for the advice. I believe I'll be leading the jackines from the
base of the aft bow pulpit stanchions, inside the shrouds, to a pad eye about
4' from the stern. Probably put a couple of pad eyes in the cockpit, too.

You may be thinking this already, but do you mean the toerail or cleat by
the stanchion? I'd steer clear of attaching anything to the pulpit or
stanchions themselves.

I know the logic behind leading the jack lines inside the shrouds, (close to
the centerline etc), but on the 35-5 I find the easiest way forward is to go
outside the shrouds on the windward side. Most of my tethers are single point
attachment, so I don't want crew using them to unclip at any
Agreed. Inside shrouds sounds like a recipe for more time on deck, clipping
and unclipping at a time when it is best avoided. Being able to quickly
clip on and run forward ( the windward side) to clear a fouled sheet etc,
presents a far lower risk, in my mind, to life and gear than having to move
I am sure others will way in, but nylon webbing 6000# breaking strength is
recommended by most racing bodies. Also, the strength will diminish in
proportion to uv exposure, so we stow them when not on the boat. I run them
to bow and stern cleats as others have mentioned since lack of backed pad
Many thanks to all. Do you guys run line or strap, and what size?

The Winchard LYF'SAFE JACKLINE kits are nice, if a bit pricey. The flat
grey webbing has a reflective strip woven in and the kit comes with a pair
of bulky S/S buckle of sorts with a glow in the dark cover that can be
positioned as a stopper to keep a crew member from getting too far aft.
