| The rule against vinyl coated lifelines is a racing regulation but could also be considered a recommendation any reasonable person would follow. There were too many instances where the stainless lifeline cable had degraded to the point of failure, with the corrosion hidden beneath the vinyl covering. This was particularly an issue at terminals. That ruling has been out for over 6 years now, probably longer. Ken H.

Question: Joe is saying Dyneema is not legal for lifelines, and someone earlier stated vinyl covered stainless were no longer allowed (or some wording like that). Who is making these rules? Is it racing regulations, boating laws somewhere, insurance regulations? And what is the problem with the vinyl covered stainless and dyneema? TIA Jim Hesketh Whisper C&C 26 Miami, FL | ||
