I had my lifelines replaced by Rigging Only in Massachusetts (where I get all my lines). I sent them the old ones, and they sent back the new ones. Their prices on material and fittings are reasonable, and in my view they don’t overcharge for the service. I suggest getting an estimate from them before buying a lot of stuff.

I think the concern was about the attachments; not the Amsteel itself. Amsteel may no longer be acceptable as race rigging for lifelines. If you use wire, make sure it is not covered. Use bare wire.

Of course I had a lot of gusto when I first purchased her and balls to hoist atop and unclip 37 year old standing rigging. Today I have the phone number of a rigger who was recommended to inspect my original rig and lifelines, expecting a hefty price tag I am keen on the idea of at least doing the lifelines myself. Digging around I found these hand-crimping lifeline fittings from Bosun http://www.bosunsupplies.com/Lifeline-Fittings-Hand-Crimp/ anyone had any experience replacing their lifelines and any lessons they could pass on? I’m sure having the rigging replaced could mean a deal on the lifelines, but wanted to explore my options.
