Re: Stus-List SS wire or line for lifelines

I used Dyneema. Very easy to splice. I put shroud covers on the forward section of top lifeline to prevent the jib from chafing. Used thimbles on the ends that are lashed to the stanchion. Joel Sent from my iPad On Feb 16, 2013, at 9:50 AM, Jim Watts wrote: > I did the same as Graham, using

Since I was working at West Marine at the time, I got everything at deep discount, so my costs were about 1/4 of having the lifelines done professionally. The major lesson I br

Charlie - I put bare wire on, and like it very much over sheathed lifelines. That was a few years back. If I were to do it again I really think I would look seriously at Dyneema/Amsteel. I'm amazed at how tough Amsteel is. I had a 4 foot piece of 1/8" Amsteel left over from my jack lines (I
