Ture. Sod it... and the weight, I'm off to get some wire cutters and stick them in my BA. In fact the thing to get is one of those Jedi aqua lung things and then you can leave all the saftey kit at home and watch all the fish till the saftey boat comes over and sticks your pin at the sky again!

Unfortunately in a big pitchpole the elastic has a tendency to snap. This is when the rope lines can become pretty dangerous. I have rope on my Tornado and I like them on a day to day basis, just not sure I trust them yet! |

As the trapeze lines are held tensioned I would suggest it would be quite hard to get wrapped in them, and when you do a hazard analysis the main risk from trap wires is remaining clipped in when a boat inverts. Risk of wrapping is probably worst from spinny sheets.

it's 6 and one half doezn with rope trapeze wires, as it's easiar to get tangled in them in the first place. it's difficult to get tangled in a wire.

I agree entirely, I wouldn't be supprised if this rule does change through safety issues. |

2 interesting points. 1. Never been sure about wearing a spray top over a BA. We always avoided that in canoeing as sometimes you need to get your BA off quickly as it can contribute to trapping situations, allegedly. 2. So you can't use rope as trapeze wires on an F!8 despite the fact they are safer as they can be easily cut. Someone needs to take the rules bods for the class round the back of the sailing club and give them some conceptual re-alignment!! Edited by tack'ho |

Well it's all horses for courses but, and I stress I haven't had to cut my self
free yet, that the jaws guide the rope into the blade and that with increased forward pressure cuts the rope, so you can do it one handed. I would of thought it would be easier that a conventional blade and safer. Especially with a tight rope around a part of you body. I got mine well before they were available in the sailing market from a Prison / Sercuirty supplies bussiness. They are used in custody situations where pressumably having put some cable ties around some nutter you need to get him out of them without the said nutter stabbing you with the tool you used to set him free. I just thought it would be a better bet than a 5" blade. Seemed safer sailing in the Cherub fleet some how.
