Removing Lifeline Coating/Cover

[sailme88]

Why do you need covers at all. If you have any fish-hook or broken wires they are not safe for lifelines. If not, they do not need covers and most racing rules do not allow them.

On the boat in question the lifeline covers were cracked and faded. They were solid, just a costemic issue.

So were mine which is why I removed the cover. The wire underneath was fine.
