Thanks for the response.

So I install 2 jam cleats on the spreader bar and just pick up the line and drop it into the cleat to hold me back in the boat?? My harness has a tube would I just drill into it and fasten the cleats along the bar with pop rivets??

Do crews use foot straps as well as the chicken lines or is it usually one or the other.

I see it as a good deal less hassle to install straps on the boat, its also what I'm used to on an ancient classic rigged Tornado.
