[Rhodes22-list] Life Lines

[Bill Effros]

Oh, and forget the "life lines"--they are death traps.  Imagine yourself 
at the top of the Empire State Building with a fence that stops at the 
knee.  Now picture the Empire State Building swaying in the wind. 

The stays all over the boat are what you hold onto--they are your life 
line.  No one has ever fallen off my boat.  I've never heard of anyone 
falling off a Rhodes-22 who said "If only that boat had life lines I 
wouldn't have fallen overboard."
