I noticed on Sirocco and some other Ariels that double lifelines are employed, and that the upper lifeline is attached rather high on the bow pulpit. In others this is not the case. Many boats like my own lack lifelines.

I am in the process of planning the first lifelines that my boat, "Auguatine", hull #330 has ever enjoyed after repairing the decks, (filling lots of interesting cracks, and application of some epoxy), applying new gelcoat and new non skid and rebedding most of the deck hardware including the jib and genoa tracks.

I am curious as to the feelings of all related to lifeline height and used of your various sails.
