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. 32).
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
quick-release under-load hardware. This harness has not been
designed for fall arrest, lifting or climbing and should not be
relied upon in any of these instances.
US Coast Guard approval does not apply to this harness and the
potential for injury has not been assessed.
IS YOUR PFD IN GOOD AND SERVICEABLE
CONDITION?
Check your Inflatable PFD between outings to be sure that it is properly
armed; that it is free of rips, tears or holes; that all seams are securely
sewn; and that the fabric, straps and hardware are still strong (See
Readiness Checklist, p. 4). Inspect the inflatable portion of the Inflatable
PFD in accordance with the CARE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS.
