[Rhodes22-list] Life Lines

[Brad Haslett]

Mark this day on your calender folks!  Bill E and I agree on something.
Life lines are a major PITA.  They are at the perfect height to trip you at
the knee and send you overboard as opposed to grabbing something, like a
stay.  The R-22 is a pretty boat, don't ruin the looks with clutter.  I wish
I could say the same thing about Stan.
