The current rules on the website state:
Life lines are required. They must meet the following criteria:
Minimum height 12".
Not be bent outboard of a projection of the factory installed socket.
Combined maximum deflection between the pulpit and the forward
stanchion and between the forward stanchion and the aft stanchion
when supporting a 5 pound weight at the middle of the aft span shall
be 5 inches total.
They shall be continuous from the aft stanchion to the bow pulpit on
each side. Minimum size is 1/8" stainless.
My question has to do with the last line (minimum size is 1/8"
stainless)... Has anyone gone to say 1/4" spectra as many other one
designs have done, and would that be considered illegal since it is
not stainless?
