[C38] Life-lines

[larrypi at linkline.com]

Patrick we had to change ours from coated to un coated for the Trans Pac Race and I think it was a good idea.  Prior to the race we had one break due to rust that we could not see due to the coating.

Someone suggested I replace my life-lines because they are coated in plastic 
so I can tell if they are fraying.  They advised stainless steel.  Seems 
like an expensive retro-fit..  I can't remember every really using the life 
line to prevent falling overboard.

Also does anyone know the height of our Catalina 38's?  I've been going 
under some bridges lately and from the cockpit it looks as though I am gonna 
lose my mast.  Hasn't happened yet.
