on the Upwind Leg will be obvious.
Life-line Belts are for use on boats with double life-lines where class
rules allow the body outside of the top lifeline. This position is
uncomfortable and can cause bruising from life line contact. Your crew will
be more effective when wearing a Skelley Life-line belt. These belts feature a hard but flexible curved
protector that engages the life-line, protecting the abdomen. Fully adjustable, one size fits all..
The Skelley Belt was worn by crew
on Winner James Spittle's Melges 24 at the 2005 Worlds.
It was also used
by crew on the 4th place boat, M-fatic.
The crew of the Mumm 30 "Illusion", overall winner of the Mumm 30,
also used the Skelley-Belt extensively during the 2005 season.
Designed and Developed by Sailmakers , Max Skelley and Cliff Stagg, the belt has gained
acceptance by crew aboard Melges 24's and Mumm 30's. Any crew member that
hikes on a boat equipped with double lifelines (whereby hiking is
allowed outside the upper lifeline) should consider one of these belts.
