Sailing Harness
Models with a sailing harness (MD3082 and MD3084) are designed to
prevent the user from falling overboard when used with a tether with
an under-load quick-release hook and have been designed and tested
in accordance with Offshore Racing Council (ORC) requirements. Care
and attention must be taken to ensure that the harness is used and
maintained correctly. The harness is designed to be worn by persons at
least 5 feet 5 inches tall (165 cm). The harness should be worn as high
on the chest as possible, but in all cases, at least 2 inches (5 cm) above
the lowest rib measured from the bottom of the belt and should not be
used if it does not fit in this manner. Adjust the harness using the strap
adjuster so that the harness is as snug as tolerable.
Failure to adjust the harness properly could result in injury.
When attached to the boat use a tether of less than 6 feet 6 inches (2 m)
in length with quick-release under-load hardware (Fig. 17).
Ensure that a tether is secured to both D-rings. When not in use, the
D-rings can be pushed under the lapels.
Warning: Use of a sailing harness to prevent falls overboard
presents several risks. In case of capsizing or sinking, the boat
may take you down. As such, ensure that any tether used has
