Best lifeline netting I’ve seen was on a boat in the marina I manage. Made from the material used for backstop netting in baseball diamonds, by a company whose primary business was sports backstops. Order a kit by size needed, and IIRC cost a bit over $100 to do a Morgan OI41.
Black in color so one does not see it. UV resistant for very long life. Something like a 3” square pattern of fabric reinforced by a nylon thread. Came with rings to attach to the lifelines and toe rails. Can’t recall the name of the manufacturer, but have it in a file on the boat somewhere. For the time being, I use the technique Dennis suggested: Dacron luff cord woven in a diamond pattern in the lifelines.

Ive had netting since 2006. I bought the first one from Holland marine. Few years in the tropics deteriorated it pretty good. I am now on my second set. This time from defender. I would say if you try the cheap route you are going to be redoing it faster than you want. Also in the offseason, if you don’t shrink-wrap the boat, I would take the netting off. It’s a pain but it saves years of weathering.

I'm looking at 24" netting from Seamar Sports Netting - www.seamarnets.com <http://www.seamarnets.com> . It's significantly cheaper than West Marine and the other suppliers I've found. Anyone have experience with this stuff? Thanks, Ryan Nobody's Bargain 1976 C&C 30mki New York
