Jeff - great link! Thanks. Re: splicing - I agree. Doing brummel splices in single-braid dyneema is really easy. Also - you'll want to check out the Johnson Marine Catalog (pg 14) here for the replacement fittings that work with synthetic lifelines. http://www.csjohnson.com/marinecatalog/s00014.htmThis replacement is a great winter project to do in the colder (or wetter) climates. - Jeff

Jeff - you are the 3rd person I've heard from that reached the same conclusion. Uncoated 316 stainless appears to be the most cost effective solution.
Comment - I am having stainless tubes welded in the stanchion holes the wire passes through to minimize chaffe and get rid of the plastic inserts. That should help increase the longevity of any life line. What did it cost to weld tubes into the stanchion holes (per stanchion or total)? Who does that kind of work? A rigging shop?
