Thank you for starting BP
For a bit of context - my post
I will only clip onto a "jackline" on deck. Also beware of lateral loads
There are a number of incidents where people have come to grief attaching to stays or bollards

HI,
good guy, I met him once. Early pioneer for NZ solo sailing
I seem to remember he came unstuck off East cape. He clipped onto backstay and when the boat rolled he went up the rig, once he landed on deck he broke a leg, required rescuing
Good lesson
Cheers

Welcome to NZ
Pickmere's book of hand drawn charts are invaluable but difficult to fine
You may find a copy second hand on the internet
Safe cruising

Thank you Wally
Yes she is a great boat.
I owned her for 7 years and gave her a complete renovation when I bought her -including new rudder, prod, complete repaint, rewired, replumbed, park bench boom, removed traveller etc. etc
The current owner similarly did a lot to her - removed teak decks and lots of other things
She is a great load carrier and surprisingly quick - Phil won the Coastal in her
I hope you enjoy her as much as we did
Cheers

You could also convert the halyard winch to electric
Its a big help when short handed on big rigs

Hi all RNI competitors,
I have been asked by a number of you to run another "Offshore medical Course" for RNI competitors prior to the race, so have agreed to
Planning is in early stages however I have set the date as Sat 1st Feb 2020 so you have a little time before the race
Jon will update you as we finalise things and I will update here

Problems with safety equipment
in MarineTalk
Posted
I use the Spinlock 3 hook tether -https://www.spinlock.co.uk/en/categories/safety-lines/product_groups/performance-safety-lines
The new clips are lighter and much easier to use one handed
Yes they are expensive, however I trust my life to them
NOTE - they also carry a warning regarding lateral loads
