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.

That stuff is exposed to the elements.  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.

Hey guys, 

 

Anyone here buy lifeline netting recently?  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
