Over the last two months, we’ve been asking online, in the magazine and on social media for your suggestions on how to improve kill cords as safety devices.

And in the latest issue of the magazine, we bring together the best ideas and also take a closer look at why we’re having this debate in the first place.

Over on our forum, meanwhile, editor Hugo has posted the top six ideas, and is asking you to vote and have your say on the merits of each one.

We’ll be following up this in the October issue of the magazine with your comments as well as expert opinion from key industry bodies such as the RYA, RNLI and outboard manufacturers.

See below for a video accompanying the first part of our investigation.
