| Dear All, As far as know there is a "European and international" standart for the life line hight. "EN ISO 15085" "Small craft_man-overboard prevention and recovery" According to this standart, for A class crafts (unlimited ocean voyages), the hight is 600 mm, that is 24" and it should withstand 1500 N (Which is something like 150 kg or 300 lb) Regards

| I know this doesn't really apply to your design Rick, but FWIW the lifeline/bulwark heights on our (admittedly large) boats is dictated by the classification society. ABS requires 36", Lloyds and others require 1 meter. |

| wow. 'minimum height of 24". Are Europeans shorter? :blink: I've since been informed that many designers use 28" and that will work fine. For the powerboat I'm working on, I went with 36". For some reason, on powerboats I picture people just sort of standing around doing nothing and 36" is a good lean-and-elbow height.
