| An essential part of offshore safety, tethers are used to clip your safety harness
to the boat -- often to a length of line or web strap called a
jackline. Use the single
if you have a jackline; use the double if not, so that you are clipped on at all
times (see below). Wichard tethers have cast stainless carabiners, and a breaking
strength of 4,580 pounds. Elastic cords are 6' long when fully extended, but retract
so that it's not underfoot in the cockpit. Wichard Harness Tethers are robust, easy
to use and will bring you years of satisfaction.
