I chartered a C&C 115 last month on the west coast. Sailed from Sidney across
to Port Townsend on the US side.
This boat had black vinyl lifelines - looked waaay cool!
Just a thought,

When I was a kid we sailed a sloop, 23', no lifelines. Having once hung
off the stays with both feet off the deck while trying to get back from
the pointy end... I like lifelines. I'm not as strong as that anymore,
I'm sure it would end badly. :-)

The big unknown is how quickly the synthetic lines degrade from UV. CS
Johnson says the line should be replaced every 3 years. Sounds ridiculous!

Could always use bungee cord. :)
Seriously, NOR's in my area are starting to allow synthetic lifelines since
many one design boats come from the manufacturer with them.

Who needs lifelines anyway? Just take them off and get rid of those
ugly stanchions, pulpit, and pushpit while you're at it.
The J-class boats take theirs off for racing, and it looks really
cool! Morris boats don't have them either.

My C&C 35-2 had the same problem and it was discovered in 2007during the course
of an extensive cosmetic deck upgrade which grounded the boat since 2006. In
my case the deck was waterlogged, but still firm. As a consequence, I did a

Hi Joel
I replaced my dubious lifelines a couple of years ago. I used the bits
from C.S. Johnson (bought through Defender) and did a exposed wire set.
Very happy with them so far, and when the wire looks iffy I can reuse
the hardware. They come as kits, or you can mix and match.

ASP people are great. I visited there store after the boatshow and got boatshow
discount.
I followed Sampson's directions based on the line diameter of 1/4" and the tuck
worked out to 22 or 24 inches. Then I lockstiched 4 or five stitches at the
throat of the eye (about 3 to 4 inches) so it do
APS has the most extensive rope inventory I have ever seen. Luckily, they
are 10 minutes from The Office.
Chuck, no need to do eye splices? How long a tail did you lockstitch?

I replaced our wire lifelines with 1/4" Amsteel. All of my 8 turnbuckles were
