On June 12, we ran a piece written by contributor Roland Stockham that discussed an alternative jackline installation concept that emphasized placement of jacklines closer to a boat’s centerline to avoid the possibility of tumbling over a lifeline and getting dragged. In the process of preparing this piece, Practical Sailor improperly used a photograph illustrating this principal, which belonged to John Harries and Phyllis Nickel of the website Attainable Adventure Cruising. (John and Phyllis are pictured above aboard their boat Morgan's Cloud off Svalbard.) When we learned of this mistake, we contacted John to let him know of our violation of ACC’s copyright. This improper use of ACC’s work also led to a failure on our part to secure a model release. In the process of making amends for this mistake, we came to know and understand the hard, multi-decade work John and Phyllis have invested in Attainable Adventure Cruising. They have perfected proven safety techniques for keeping crew aboard that should become the standard for every thoughtful mariner. You can learn more at their website www.morganscloud.com, and specifically in this Online Book. We regret the error. Tim Cole Chief Content Officer Belvoir Media Group
