Ocean Safety has introduced new adjustable jackstays, eliminating the need to customise pre-measured stays to be exactly the right length for the boat. The new jackstays are looped at either end so they can be simply hitched to cleats or eyes fore and aft along the deck. The 1in / 25mm Ocean Safety Jackstay is available in 8, 12 and 16 metre lengths, from which they can be adjusted down to the exact length required. The tough UV resistant webbing features a Kevlar coating along the edges which offers increased durability, whilst the retro-reflective strip enables night time visibility. The adjustment buckle is sleeved in neoprene to protect decks.
Jackstays, are lifelines running unimpeded by gear along the length of a yacht’s side-decks enabling crew to clip on, using a safety harness and leash with karabiner, and move forward or aft in relative safety (from being swept or knocked overboard). Usually there is one on either side – the windward side being the one usually used.
The white Jackstays can be purchased as part of Ocean Safety’s charter safety pack or individually from chandleries.
