Safety belt one more small step and some reflections on their use.
Here is one more step on the construction of the strong points for the safety belts.
One commentator expressed the opinion that they were to high. For maximum safety that is true. But comfort have to be considered to if frequent use of them will be made.
It is different in a car. Drives do not last for several days but storms does. The first time my boat capsized there was not a very strong wind. Just an odd wave from the side. Quickly and with no fuss it overturned my little wessel.
Previus north of Scotland I had been in far worse weather.
Now I put on the belt when there is breaking waves. If the safety belt is to tight it is not comfortable to move around in the bed.
If I was preparing to go down the Niagara falls I would put the strong points lower down.

Sven Yrvind
Hi My name is Sven Yrvind. I design, build and cruise small boats. 1962 I left Sweden in 15 feet converted Blekingseka. I soon found out that there was room for improvement. To understand the basic I began to study mathematics and engenering. 1968 I sailed to England via many contries in a converted 13 feet rowing boat. People told me I be more happy on a bigger boat. November that year I found a wreck an old steam launch build 1885 I converted her to a staysail schooner and sailed her to Rio de Janeiro. That voyage advised me that a bigger boat do not bring happiness, happiness is an inside thing. I designed a 6 meter doubble ender built her in my mother basement. Tried to sail around Cape Horn with her but was capsized and pitchpoled. Later I built an 5.9 meter boat in her I rounded Cape Horn in the southern winter June 1980. I have continued to design, build, and cruise small boats often in high latitudes. Please support me on my donation button on my site yrvind.com
