Mark, My understanding with Dyneema is that you will need to replace it often. If you race seriously, the lower weight could be worth the added expense and upkeep. Otherwise, wire would be the way to go.
There's a company I've used in the past to replace the lifelines on the Enterprise-A called Rigging Only. When I replace the ones on the "B" in a year or two, I'll use them again. They provide you with all the instructions you need to measure and then they will make everything for you. Great value. All the best, Edd ------------------------------- Edd M.

I found at least one source for lifeline hardware with eye ends for high tech line. http://www.downwindmarine.com/Johnson-Over-Center-Pelican-Gate-Hook-with-Eye-p-91000377.html Seems like it would be easy to install and replace as needed. But would there be other issues? Chafe on sails? Chafe at stantions? Hard to adjust length? My lifelines will need a replacement in the next year or 2. At minimum. Not sure where I would get new swaged lifelines locally. Thoughts?
