10' of line allows you to fall overboard. You need enough line that if you
fall over you will be dragged to the stern where the boarding ladder is. It
is not fun to be dragged through the water dangling from the side of boat
unable to reach boarding ladder. In those circumstances you are always to
weak to climb up over the side or pull yourself up by the line.

<< I to have been looking into harnesses and teathers. Found a 'reasonably'
priced harness with a 10' teather at sailnet.com for $37.99 The product is
a CAL-JUN TRANS-PAX Safety Harness.
It looks like it will do the job and fasten quite nicley to the ring
(nomenclature?) for the mast raising system.
Comments on to long a line, with a 10' line you could always double back
and connect at your harness if you only wanted 5' at the particular time.
Hope that helps - Jay Haire, P-19, SAC-CAL
