Someone had replied that they took their lifelines off because the stancheons flexed the deck and created cracks. What I'm wondering is if this would be a problemthere was a big enough backing plate? I was thinking of puttting a stancheon w/ brace about 6" forward of the coaming and another one mid way to the bow pulpit. Is that just too much of a vulnerable place??

I have a M `15 and installed a stern pulpit and life lines. I like them for the following reasons:
1. My boom tent gives me more head room. 2. They stop my jib from going over the side. 3. When over nighting, I have plenty of drying space. 4. Can attach weather cloths so that I can take a solar shower. 5. The stern rail has prevented me from falling over board once.
