Do you mean my clipping the trapezeharness to a leash line for safety reasons? This leash line (in fact a kite leash) goes to a supportbeam behind the tiller-cross tube. And there it can run freely from hull-stern to hull-stern.

In that way I will not hangup myself when capsizing and falling down backwards. In fact I can move around the whole tramp while being hooked to this leash.

By te way, I have ofcourse this standard kite unleash mechanisme which can be used in the situation where this will be necessary.


Everything has to do with the fact that I'm always sailing solo
