Guidelines According to ORC/ISAF (Offshore Special Regulations) Each crew member shall have a harness and safety line that complies with ISO 12401 or equivalent with a safety line not more than 2m in length. Harnesses and safety lines manufactured prior to Jan 2010 shall comply with either ISO 12401 or EN 1095. Harnesses and safety lines manufactured prior to Jan 2001 are not permitted. A safety line purchased in January 2001 or later shall have a coloured flag embedded in the stitching, to indicate an overload. A line which has been overloaded shall be replaced as a matter of urgency. Snaphooks should be of a type which will not self release from a U-bolt and which can be easily released under load (crew members are reminded that a personal knife may free them from a safety line in emergency). All of the tethers we offer meet the ORC/ISAF Guidlines. |

APS Custom Jacklines |

| APS Custom Jacklines
Tethers and harnesses are only as good as the jacklines to which they are attached. Jacklines are often too stretchy, especially those made of webbing. Remember that jack lines are meant to keep you on the boat, not trolling in the water behind it. Our jack lines start with 1/4" spectra line that is low stretch, abrasion resistant and has a 6,600 lbs. tensile strength. We eye splice each end (one end can be shackled or luggage tagged and the other lashed and tensioned with some 1/8" spectra line - sold separately). We then cover the entire length with tubular Polyester webbing to protect the spectra line and keep it from rolling under your feet. Materials:1/4" AmSteel Blue- Smab14 ~ $1.50/ft 1" tubular webbing - BBE124 ~ $.50/ft. ** Labor per jack line is $34.00. Consider terminating your jack lines at an aft point that is a whole tether length forward of the stern to minimize the danger of falling out of the boat while tethered. |
