[quote=Edchris177]The 20' Mystere had lines/bungee/hooks incorporated into the wings. I was to chicken to use them. The boat is 13.5' wide with the wings, trapped off a wing your head was almost 13' from the mast, when a hull came up it felt like you were on a high diving board.
On the Nacra I use a line tied to the pintle pin, ends short of the front beam. (thin line from pintle to rear beam, thick line from there to end). A bungee goes from front end of line through front beam to line on other side. When not in use the bungee keeps things snug. In use, crew can grab line,(bungee allows it to come up to waist level) & hold a strategically placed knot to prevent going forward.
I have heard of people bringing the line up behind them, & letting it ride about hip level. I think that might result in the possibility of hanging your legs in a crash, so I just reach down & grab it so as to keep it in front of me.[/quote]
