Just been on cruising lea lea utube channel and I noticed that instead of wire guard wires he has replaced them with rope, I thought this was a better idea than using wire because:-
1. It can be replace easy on a diy basis
2. In the event of man over board it could easily be untied to get casualty back on board. You could make your own system to suit you.
3. It would also be kinder to crew ...ever seen a wire rope bruise.
4. Perhaps not quite the same in loads bearing capacity but then it you require that amount then perhaps you should lose a few pounds
Does any body have any idea why I shouldn't replace mine with rope as I need to replace a stantion and this would make it easier for me.
........just thought............. it would chafe if you didn't have suitable stations to run it through ie it wouldn't work with hollow stations but it would work with solid stations.
