Here you can see a sleave I put over the line as a chaff guard on the top lifeline. To be honest these were a real pain to get right, and I think completely useless when compared to the wear on the bottom lifelines where I couldn't install them (The splice for the hiking pad kept them from fitting). If anything I would have just gone up another size and saved all the work trying to get the chaff guards in the right position.
This is a close up of the rear pulpit with lashing tying the line off. I probably would shorted the lifeline if I did it again by about 3 inches, but only because I spliced one too long, and now have to go back and redo it.
