Joe, Rick very creatively mounted handrails atop the companionway slide retaining boards on his M15 Bluebird. Pic here: http://www.peppypawspoochpark.com/htmills/images/LF-bluebirdandnymph.jpg Tod

Thanks for all the advice on the lifelines. I like the advice on the padeyes and jacklines. I might also add some hand rails closer to the center of the cabin roof. I don't go forward very often but when I do it seems there is always a 2' chop so I end up doing a lot of waddling around on my hands and knees. Thanks again.

Yeah, the thing with lifelines on such a small boat is that they make it a lot more difficult to go forward since the side decks are so narrow. I was on a 17 that had them and after trying to negotiate past them I immediately reached the conclusion that they were more of a hazard than help.

Hi Joe, I had low lifelines on my M17 and removed them. They were a trip hazard waiting to happen.Also, someone will invariably grab a stantion while docking or at an "anxious" moment and lever it hard enough to crack the deck surface. Mine was cracked in two areas when I purchased my boat.I like Dave's idea with the padeyes and jacklines.
