Please note in this set of communications, there was no mention of the "WIFE SAVER" otherwise known as the Chicken Line, which is often the Hawaiian-Style righting line. New sailors and skippers---PLEASE practice with this line from the transom bungeed to the front of the boat. It is stretched fore and aft down by your feet, and is held by the crew to avoid personal damage by being flung forward... which also AVOIDS THE DREADED PITCHPOLE. My wifely crew was unflung for many years, but now claims to be too aged. Shoot, I say 58 isn't that old. 8^)
