Reply to: ~~ This could happen to us to... or probably has !! (From Sailing Anarchy)

[quote=Quarath][quote=pbegle]This is why my daughter (15) and I have been using Bethwaite (ball & socket) trap harnesses for past 3 years. No kids are allowed on my boats without them. Most adults I find are not willing to pay for the (double the price) change. CEO of Hobie Cat, Doug ?, had it happen to him & nearly lost crew several years ago. Pete[/quote] Definitely makes think the extra cost is worth it. I had my son and nephew on the boat Saturday and they are both about the same age as that girl. My biggest worry was not going over but if I did would they get caught somewhere. The front of my tramp is crisscross of bungees with a small cooler in the middle. I put them there for ease of stowing stuff and I usually leave them all year because they are pain to setup. There is probably only a couple sails a year that I really need them when I will be out long enough or far enough away from shore that I needs snacks and drybag with jackets and such. The Prindle tramp is a hazard enough without me adding to it.[/quote]
