Re: New Lifelines
Either way the cost is in the fittings.
I would choose either wire.
I did mine 5 years ago. Choose coated wire as I didn't want a bare wire meathook to shrewd my job. Replace myself every 7 years.
Wire is not affected and weaken by sun exposure. No way you coukd convince me dyneema isn't weakened over Tim without showing it. Ive seen what the sun does to my sacrificial dinghy cover every year.
If your boat is in the sunlight 10 months of the year I would take that into consideration.
