I was thinking about this just the other day. I want to be able to sail solo or with inexperienced crew, and do it safely.

What's the best way to tether yourself in such a situation? Put a carabiner on the end of the mainsheet and clip it to your harness? I guess a hangmans-noose bungee'd off the trapeze for the crew, right ;-) I'm looking for instructions, because I have no idea how it's generally done, much less, what works.
