My turn.
Clock in _ HERE -
At 03:00 – for about six seconds; and a massive reality fix.
Watched the short section? – Good. Now; imagine the wind at 15 knots. (28 clicks +/-) or even 20 knots (37 Kph) and one of those 'things' hitting the water and departing the touch down spot; downwind at the same rate. Could you, from the bottom of a 1.6 metre swell, fully clothed, boots on, swim well enough to catch it and hang on for grim death. Even if you do; two on one side – one on the other – Whoops; sorry too much (back to swimming).
Didn't think so – government safety thinking hard at work; looks great, seems simple; even if tethered and the boat goes down; what then? – Just pray that you never have to test the veracity of the 'safety speak' as you cross Sydney heads on a wet, windy evening with a high sea running. Catch it if you can – life or death depends.
This is the rubbish spouted – in the name of 'it will never happen'. Bull-shit....It ain't good enough; not by a long shot it ain't..
Well, it makes me cranky. !@#$... deleted...
