Skiff harness

   The Banks radial works for me for comfort and low snag factor, but with the caveat that the stitching on the white panels falls off as son as it goes near the aggressive nonslip on Halo's floor. Banks have promised to take a look at it and redo it, but I haven't had a chance to drop it off there.

	I'd recommend a bespoke made one. As long as you don't intend putting on any weight. And then it's down to how good you think the fitting / measurement info and manufacture are. I've got a Batt one. Which would of been great if it wasn't a little bit to small and the webbing strap was longer. But I have also had one of the skiff style adjustables and no matter what the guy in the shop tells you, even if you have the cover up velco panels that make everything flush, it will still catch on something. One of the joys of a really short boat in which most of it is foredeck! So i still use the Batt one even though I have to do an impression of an eel getting in and out. In terms of quick release I've got a knife.

	Hi I'm after a new harness to go Cherubbing in as I don't like the way my old harness comes undone, snags on everything and weighs a ton. I've narrowed it down to... Banks Skiff Pro (favorite at the mo) P&B made to measure RMW Rush Banks Radial Gill Skiff I'd really appreciate any feedback anyone has on these harnesses (and that is from people who have actually used them!!) before I order. I have to say I like the look of the Banks one as it it won't get too grubby and have had good reports from some 49er sailors at my club. I do quite like the RMW one too, but with my yellow Cherub with kevlar sails, black racks and big yellow kite I don't want to be accused of being a Greenhalgh wannabe!! Has anyone tried the new Gill one? It looks comfy but looks a little bit strappy and complicated for my liking. Also, if I go for the QRH option, has anyone got any preferences over the RWO or SeaSure system? Cheers in advance, Iain
