This is a debate about lifelines in either traditional wire or new synthetic rope.


The lifelines on Britannia were showing signs of chafe and old age, so I replaced them with rope, but not just any rope. This long article explores the pros and cons of rope or wire for lifelines and I finally used Dyneema cord, which is stronger than wire and easier and cheaper to replace, and is also lighter and will not go rusty.
