Better. Where's the righting line?

The boat will be moved to the marina later this week, but before it ever sees the water, there are a few more lines that need to be added. One is a righting line and another would be a line that has a "stirrup" on the end to help get back on board after a capsize.

Revisiting this original thread.
For some reason, I cannot see the images anywhere in this thread. Looking for image(s) of the bungee setup to keep jib lines from hanging up on mast, mast base, etc...
Thanks

Two ways to do it. Here are a couple of pics. Blue bungee line.

Use a 7 foot bungee, 3/8" or 1/4"
Wrap the center of the bungee around the mast above the diamond stays or boom gooseneck, then cross the bungee in front of the mast and tie the ends on the dolphin stryker and slide outward as much as possible. If no dolphin stryker, tie to the ends of the front crossbar keeping the bungee in front of the crossbar as much as possible.
