Sailing Harness
CAUTION: Use only as a sailing
harness.
Models with a sailing harness (MD3184)
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.
