Oh I've seen line on the stanchions on plastic boats all the time, and
Ive seen the stanchions bent on most boats and mushy glass under the
stanchions, cheap ass pelican hook clasps ect bubbles. With a lite
weight day sailor like yours you would be better off with no lifelines,
they are so low that you are just going to be tripped up when you fly
overboard. I could rip a life line stanchion off any Bentatoe with one
arm tied behind my back.
