Paul, I did my lifelines with it. Here is what I learned: When I bought the line, I was told to make each lifeline about 6 inches shorter than the cable lines and to lash it. Good thing I listened. Until it is tensioned you can not really determine length. That might make it hard to use as a removable stay. After a couple of sails I noticed some loose strands from the jib rubbing against it. I bought a couple of white shroud covers (the kind you should not use on stainless) for the first section of lifeline and solved the problem. It is easy to splice, and the pelican hook may cost more than the line. I think my hooks are from CS Johnson.
