For starters you need 40’ or 45’ flat nylon jacklines. It is best if you can 
find or make a set with Dynema line or steel wire inside the flat nylon. 

 

On my 38 the jacklines get rigged with the eyes attached to the two 10” cleats 
in the bow of the boat, then led on the deck inside of the shrouds, aft to the 
cockpit where they are secured to a pair of padeyes in the cockpit. The padeyes 
were left behind when I upgraded my traveler. 

 

My tethers are double ended, so crew on deck can pass inside the shrouds when 
going forward or “Hook on, hook off” to go around the outside of the shrouds. 
I’ve also been known to use the padeyes on the side of the mast for the 
reaching strut as a place to hook on when standing at the mast to reef or crank 
on the outhaul.

Subject: Stus-List How to run jacklines on an LF38.

 

I need 'em for the NE voyage. The mast is 16+ ft back from the bow. Theres a 
good, sturdy eye near the bow. I can run them to the cabintop handrails at the 
cockpit, but that seems strange. Suggestions, please.
