Whether sailing solo or fully crewed, operating on the foredeck in most conditions
requires extra attention and safety precautions. They are essential
gear for keeping crew aboard the boat. They must be extremely strong, both along
their length and at the attachment points, yet allow maximum freedom of movement
for crewmembers harnessed and tethered to them. To ensure your jacklines remain
strong, they should be replaced after every two years’ cumulative outdoor exposure.
Plastimo Jacklines are made of polyester webbing that doesn’t roll underfoot
like round rope jacklines do. And they're gentle on your boat, too. Mount your jackline
attachment points through the deck, with backing plates, as far inboard as possible.
