II. Safety Information
A. Personal
1. Life Preservers
There are 6 life preservers on board in a bag marked "Life Preservers" that is stored in the main salon.
2. Harnesses, Tethers and Jack Lines
There are eleven harnesses and tethers on board. Five of these have integral life preservers that are
inflated with CO2 cartridges that are manually operated (they may also be inflated by mouth). They are
stored in Compartment 1 in the Forward Cabin and are assigned to crew when sailing offshore. While
sailing offshore or at night jack lines will be fitted from the bow to the stern on each side of the boat.
The jack lines are run inside the shrouds so that one can go from the cockpit to the bow of the boat
along the centerline of the boat without having to unsnap your tether. These jack lines are stored in
Compartment 2 in the forward cabin when not in use.
Harnesses must be worn and attached to a jack line or other appropriate attachment point under the
following conditions:
When sailing offshore and you need to leave the cockpit to go anywhere on deck
When sailing at night and you are outside of the salon area
When the conditions are such that the captain or the person on watch deems it necessary for
crew outside the salon area to utilize harnesses
