I made my own netting my weaving line between the toe rail and the lower lifelines and then the lowers to the uppers. It works WAY better than the net material.

OTOH, the version I bought (already made up in certain lengths) was a real PITA to install (or remove). After one season, or part of one, I ditched them and went with PFDs, jacklines and tethers plus a few threats of harm if I ever saw a grandkid of appropriate age going anywhere out of the cockpit without being attached.

Good for sails, Maybe pekineses. I had custom Jacklines made by a company called cargo trade supply, and I pin them through the toerail with carabiners. In the material handling trade the Jackline it’s called a sling, has a certified load rating and costs a fraction of the nautical equivalent. This blog post has pics, including an overly clever attachment scheme. Now I simply push the loop through the toerail, and clip a carabiner through the loop. http://cncwindstar.blogspot.com/2016/08/quest-for-jacklines.html?m=1 I have good quality tethers and pfds. All pfds have integral harnesses. Not sure we could do much more.

An adult is much more likely to go over the top.

It seems like it might be useful to prevent rolling off the deck into the water (ie. death). Never having fallen off a boat, I am not sure if it is really worth it and if there are many scenarios where these might prevent disaster. Does anyone have experience about the pro/cons of doing this?
