sailing HaRness
CaUtion: Use only as a sailing harness.
Models with a sailing harness (MD3154) 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. 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.
Transport Canada approval does not apply to this harness and the
potential for injury has not been assessed.
