I have two questions on lifelines.
I put a full set of lifelines on my boat when I got it some time ago. By that I mean the lifelines are complete around the boat with a bow pulpit and side rails which fasten to the deck fore and aft of the stays. I got these from Ultimate Sailboats as they were recommended for PHRF racing. I am considering replacing at least the side rail/stantion with the more common one on U20s which ends behind the stays. Does anyone have comments on doing this and/or a source for these parts?
Also, I have seen people using a strap instead of the padded cover on wire for the lifelines in the cockpit. Can anyone comment on these as an alternative? Can you refer me to a source?
Thanks,
Allen
