[C38] Life-lines

[Steve Smolinske]

Patrick,  
 
55 feet I believe is the height, I just did the lifeline thing as well, in order to satisfy Cat. 1 for ISAF you have to have uncoated life lines or as of this year you can use Dynema.   Mine were only two years old and were plastic coated as well, I took them off soaked them in Tolulene for a night and the coating falls right off.

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.
