I plan to mostly sail singlehanded in a 19' boat and was wondering what an appropriate tether length would be? Is there a rule of thumb for this based on the boat length?
Should there be a loop so whilst in the cockpit it is not possible to go overboard, just enough to lean out over the railing or is that dangerous in a larger boat as you wouldn't be able to quickly clear the hull of the boat if a full capsize was occurring?
