Alan,
I'm sure of the sextant lanyard but unsure of Yves being attached to his boat. This is a bad habit of single handers myself included. With the autopilot engaged falling overboard or being washed over leaves no chance at getting back aboard. Even when harnessed to a jack line it is possible to get cast over the toe rail and not be able to climb aboard. Staying low and keeping an eye on the boom is good policy as well.
