System 2) crew and skipper (but more difficult to use at deep wind angles). The other system terminated similarly in the rear beam but the line carried forward and tied solid to the front beam. Both crew and skipper have cam cleats on their harnesses (I had plates welded to the spreader bars for the cleats).When on the wire, you both step under the chicken line (which is pulled tight from the rear beam to the front beam) and drop it into one of the cam cleats on your harness. As skipper, I usually depended on my crew to hook me into this system. The nice thing about it is that if push really came to shove, the cam cleats would let go if you put them at a really bad angle so you would be less likely to be dangling from the top of a capsized boat.

This is the system Jake set us up with at the Tybee and it worked GREAT!!
