	Drying apparatus for horses and the like - Patent 4718375
		The jacket when feeding warm air through the said supply region is inflated and assumes the shape of a tubelike body, the warm air flows through the discharge holes into the inner side of the jacket and escapes through the vent-holes to the outside of the jacket.
		During the drying the weight of the jacket is further reduced, because the warm air streams escaping through the discharge holes tend to lift the jacket and form an air cushion between the body of the horse and the jacket.
		The jacket may be easily adapted to different sizes of horses by adjusting the closure members or even by turning up the portion of the jacket in the region of the backbone, so that a sort of reefing is reached.

	James Wiseman, Rigs to Reefs, August 23rd 1998 - www.reefs.org
		If a jacket meets certain design criteria (size, location, etc.) set by the state parks division, it can be used as a reef and the state will take ownership and liability for the structure.
		If the jacket is not in a good location for a reef, sometimes it is lifted by the crane barge and carried to a new location.
		The steel jackets could be augmented, with the addition of quarry rock, or crushed concrete, to increase the amount of low relief, high complexity habitat.

		I proposed, that not only should my jacket keep me warm, but that it should also be so constructed as to contain a shirt or two, a pair of trowsers, and divers knick-knacks--sewing utensils, books, biscuits, and the like.
		There were, also, several unseen recesses behind the arras; insomuch, that my jacket, like an old castle, was full of winding stairs, and mysterious closets, crypts, and cabinets; and like a confidential writing-desk, abounded in snug little out-of-the-way lairs and hiding-places, for the storage of valuables.

		This means reefing the genoa every time you tack, and this is where the electric winch comes in handy.
		However you must ensure that the safety jacket has a strap that goes round the crotch, which prevents it all coming off over your head at the wrong moment.
		A mini-transat boat was recently found empty, with the safety jacket trailing behind attached to the boat, apparently drawn up over the poor sailor's head when he fell overboard.

		To minimize risk during the jacket cutting and removal, it was determined that the best approach would involve removing the wells prior to severing the jacket.
		As the jacket legs extended well beyond the mudline, rather than having to sever only the piles, as is normally the case, this project involved cutting through the legs, a layer of grout and the piles (a matter of 6.5" of material).
		The jacket was moved to the reef site, lowered to the sea floor and pulled over to settle on its side in its new home, where it will provide acres of living and feeding habitat for GOM marine life.

		I notice, as I struggle with the wet reefing cords while simultaneously attempting to untangle the damned safety line from every projection on the boat, that we appear to be heading in a big circle.
		I quickly finish reefing and turn to crawl back to the cockpit as the boat swings from side to side, since the waves are now hitting us broadside.

		So, with many odds and ends of patches--old socks, old trouser- legs, and the like--I bedarned and bequilted the inside of my jacket, till it became, all over, stiff and padded, as King James's cotton-stuffed and dagger-proof doublet; and no buckram or steel hauberk stood up more stoutly.
		After my week of office, the mess gradually changed their behavior to me; they cut me to the heart; they became cold and reserved; seldom or never addressed me at meal-times without invidious allusions to my duff, and also to my jacket, and its dripping in wet weather upon the mess-cloth.

		We had our local canvas guy make a "jacket" out of a some what stiff coated canvas material.
		It keeps the jib sheets from catching on the rotator handle and the cleats and provides some protection for the extra wiring at the base of the mast.
		I would not remove the furling handle as that holds the boom in the mast, plus it's one more step to go through if you need to reef (unless you have a non-furling reefing system).

		At length the first fury of the gale began to abate, and we at once fell to pounding our hands, as a preliminary operation to going to work; for a gang of men had now ascended to help secure what was left of the sail; we somehow packed it away, at last, and came down.
