Boating Gear: An Introduction to the Lanyard


Learning the lingo of boating can be a tough task. With hundreds of boating gears around, learning to use – if not pronounce – all this gear properly can be a hard thing to do. The best way to go about this dilemma is to take things one at a time and master each part as you go along.

One of the most important gears you will have to learn about is the lanyard. Lanyards are flexible lines of rope. They could be made of wire rope or strap. Each lanyard has a connector – a device for one to connect the lanyard to a variety of equipment.

Lanyards are important to every boater. Aside from the usual functions a sturdy piece of rope performs, lanyards can also be attached to body harnesses and then to deceleration devices. Lanyards also make quick work of lifelines and anchor lines. They are versatile and durable – not to mention that they can take a good amount of punishment.

In the world of boating, the lanyard can do many things. Its uses are pretty much limited only to the user’s imagination. And given that, most lanyards are regularly used and abused on any boating trip.

When purchasing a boat, make sure the boat has a good number of lanyard ropes or straps on board. Make sure the lanyards are interoperable and easily connect to the equipment on board. You should also make sure that there is a good means for you to stow away your lanyards so that they are properly kept.

Also make sure that your lanyards are easy to access and are properly maintained. One of the cardinal sins most boating enthusiasts commit is to keep using lanyards even if they are in a bad shape. This isn't acceptable, especially if you consider that the lanyard can be used to secure lifelines and other delicate and life-depending situations.

Imagine having a lanyard line out for rescue operations, or for you to cling to as you go about your deck jobs. If your lanyard fails you, you could find yourself or someone else in dire straits. So always make sure that your lanyards are in tip top condition.

Lanyards are some of the most important gear a boat could ever have. When choosing an inventory of boat gear and equipment, make sure that you keep your lanyard first in mind.
