ORC Specification Double Safety Tether

Elastic Double Tether with Aluminum Safety Hooks: Enhanced Safety for Sailboat Racing

Ensure top-tier safety and flexibility with our Elastic Double Tether, designed for optimal performance in sailboat racing. Featuring a versatile 3' leg that extends from 18" to 36" and a 6' leg that extends from 41" to 72", this tether provides two options for secure attachment, accommodating a variety of movement needs on the water.

Key Features:

• Adjustable Lengths: The 3' leg offers maximum security for close, high-stability tethering, while the 6' leg allows for greater mobility, letting you stand or move around comfortably while securely clipped on.
• Durable Construction: Incorporates lightweight aluminum double-action safety hooks with a built-in stress indicator, ensuring robust and reliable performance.
• Safety Indicators: Equipped with bright overload indicator flags embedded in the stitching. These flags become exposed when the tether is stressed beyond 900 lbs of force, signaling when replacement is needed.
• Enhanced Hook Design: Boat-end aluminum safety hooks feature easy-to-use double-action gates that automatically lock, preventing accidental release from attachment points. The ergonomic design allows for easy opening without pinching your hands.
• Efficient Elastic Function: Internal elastic within the webbing cover retracts when not under load, keeping the tether tidy and out of the way.
• Secure Snap Shackle: The non-magnetic, stainless steel snap shackle at the chest provides secure closure and easy release from the harness when under load.

This tether meets all ORC requirements for strength, design, and features, making it a reliable choice for competitive sailboat racing. Kong ISO 12401 compliant tethers are available at West Marine as a special order.
