Patrick, I hope by now you can see how a vest with a harness, a tether and jackline are all supposed to work. Re the jackline, I decided to tie off at the starboard side bow cleat, then wrap line several times sound the mast and back to the port side aft cleat. My reasoning for this procedure was that I wanted to keep the line as close to the middle of the boat as possible. Using 2 jacklines on our boat, to me, puts the lines too close to the sides and would be much easier to fall overboard.
There are other options to jacklines such as using a Wichard folding pad eye in 3 or so locations and then attach the harness to it, but I decided against this. Others prefer this method.
The key is to use some sort of method to keep you on the boat but if knock out and over, the inflatable vest is the best one to have. But even at the helm, sitting in the catbird seats, I have the tether attached to the boat.
Just soak in all the information on our site and you will be a better sailor and a safer one as well.
