In Response To: I agree that no lifelines are relatively unsafe.

() ..... of owning boats I've never owned one with lifelines. Bow and stern rails yes, but not lifelines. Never went in except on purpose. Maybe I'm just lucky.
....But I've tripped on lifelines several times on OP's boats. They're a hazard.
ARAMINTA would benefit from a few good hand-holds at the bow, IMHO. If I were sailing that boat and needed to do something on the foredeck I'd not likely do it from inside the cabin.
But thanks for posting Tom. She's a beauty.

- ARAMINTA, a sensible cruising design from 1959.
- And going forward on a dark and stormy?
- Bigger foredeck, bigger jibs to take down, bigger dragging anchors to deal with.
