Getting my boat ready for a trip, I decided I need jacklines.
Besides, they will give the kids something to clip to when they insist
on sitting on the bow. I decided the ones made from flat webbing
material are not good as I have seen that material degrade very
quickly in sunlight, so I used 3/8 braid. Ajny thoughts on this?


My own jacklines are webbing. I see no evidence of degradation. I
take them off when not needed.

I prefer webbing as line can present a hazard when stepped on.
