I was out today in 25kts and 3m Atlantic cresting rollers. It occured to me that going over the side tethered to the lifeline running up the side deck was a frightening prospect.... almost certain death at 8kts SOG. Given that I've got one of those handy dandy little PLBs with local AIS and DSC activation to the boat, I have a much better chance of survival without being tethered.
I knows there's a debate to be had about having the lifeline being rigged so that you can't reach the edge, but that's not possible on mine and many boats, particularly when your working ahead of the mast.
What do you think?
