jpfox219 Posted March 10, 2023 Report Share Posted March 10, 2023 Appreciate some thoughts on the matter... I just purchased a J/22... presently no pulpit, stern rail, or lifelines (or roller fuller either), which I kind of like. I intend to sail solo on occasion and teach my 3 teenage sons to sail. Thinking bow pulpit but waffling on the lifelines and/or a stern rail. Anyone? -John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdoyle Posted March 13, 2023 Report Share Posted March 13, 2023 I am not a fan of life lines on the J 22. I don’t see the point of them on a boat so small. If you said your kids were under ten, that would be different. Save your money and buy your kids (and yourself) really comfortable life jackets and where them all of the time.

JTKiener Posted April 10, 2023 Report Share Posted April 10, 2023 Hi John, We use them at the sailing school where I teach. They have their place. buying a full set from Waterline is expensive. I'd keep an eye out on this forum if you're dead set on them. If you're very worried about losing your sons overboard, maybe have them wear inflatables and tethers to a jackline like large offshore boats. If they are teenagers, they should be ok though.

jpfox219 Posted April 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2023 Thanks for the feedback. I'm not too concerned about the boys. More wondering how much I’d miss something to lash a jib too or for a foredeck balance point. -John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinney Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 We teach on one and find them helpful for newcomers. Racers don’t need them and just the bow pulpit configuration presents tripping and hiking issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dweakly Posted May 12, 2023 Report Share Posted May 12, 2023 I have a complete set of lifelines, stanchions and bow and stern rails. I'd let it all go cheap. Doug 361-815-3822 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
