In either case, jacklines should only be deployed

Hmm. My rule is that regardless of wind and sea conditions, nobody goes on
the foredeck underway unless he's clipped to a jack line.

But the jacklines needn't be left out on deck, exposed to the sun,
unless the boat is actually being used - arrange their "installation"
so that they can be easily removed, and stowed below, when the boat is
not in use (and that may encourage you to check them for wear each
time you install them!)
