Hi:



I am certain that I will probably get differences of opinion on this subject, but I have my own thoughts about "chicken lines".



I don't mind using them in conditions that tend to be "off-and-on". You know the kind...a little stuff there, slamming the forward beam once in a while.........



But I sail in conditions (once in a while) that I would prefer to be "launched" as opposed to breaking my legs, or dislocating my shoulders and arms.



Just like anything else pertaining to sailing, we all have our own likes and dislikes.



Anyway.......nice talking to you.
