Main Article – Is it safe to use a Tether? Part 2 – Last month we had part 1 of this article that shared some disturbing findings during Practical Boat Owners MOB and tether trials. Part 2 covers slowing the boat and recovery.

In a parallel article to one from PBO we look at the question, To Tether or Not? We look at all the angles.

Main Article – Is it safe to use a Tether? Sailing two up a man overboard is your worst nightmare. At ICA we preach “Treat the life lines like the top of a 100 foot Cliff” First rule DON’T GO OVERBOARD. This article courtesy of Practical Boating add reinforcement to this ethos. Thi is Part 1 of a two parter.

No Club Night in December but if you’re in the Bay of Islands over Christmas come and join us on the 24th for a Pot Luck BBQ at Roberton Island. Listen out on Ch 16 and 08 VHF
