Re: M_Boats: life lines

Hi Joe, That was me that commented on the cracked deck at the stanchion base. There were backing plates under them, however, not very large in area to distribute the force. The problem may never exist as long as the stanchion doesn't receive any horizontal forces. Hard to guarantee that on a sailboat.
