Just a thought, but has anybody also considered mounting a knife to the underside of the rear beam...... That way anybody close can grab and cut.

Remember one of the comments from officials at I believe it was SPA regatta where a Tornado crew died whilst trapped under the tramp. "The rescue boat did not have a knife on board and was unable to cut the tramp"...... A knife on the back beam could have saved this guys life.

Also regarding A cats will not go turtle....... I have seen it quiet a few times now and have even seen thier rigs snap from bouncing on the bottom.
