Based on the provided information, you measure a harness line by ensuring that when hooked in, your elbow is inside the loop and the end of your palm is on the boom. This typically applies to windsurfing harness lines.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
Personal Preference: The "correct" length is largely based on personal preference and arm length.
-
Elbow Position: The key is to position the harness line such that your elbow sits comfortably within the loop while sailing.
-
Palm Position: Ideally, the end of your palm should reach the boom when hooked in. This allows for good control and leverage.
-
Medium Arm Length: The video references this in relation to line placement. If you have short or long arms, you'll need to adjust the line placement accordingly.
In summary, to measure and position your harness line, aim for an elbow-in-the-loop position with the end of your palm on the boom. Adjust based on your arm length.
