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?
