Reading in "Rigger's Apprentice" pg 366, Brion says "Seize a big D-ring to a lower shroud, attach the lifeline to a strongpoint aft, lead it through the D-ring, and make if off forward".

I am a little confused. Like the line runs above the lifelines along the edge and not down the center of the boat. It would seem to me to run it down the center of the boat so it would catch you if you before you go over.
