[C320-list] Lifeline replacement

[Allan Field]

Chip - It looks like from your area code that you might be local to the
Chesapeake Bay. If so, another option is the rigging shop at West Marine,
Hillsmere, Annapolis. I had them do my C320 many years ago and the job was
excellent. My memory is that they reused my pelican hooks which would have
cut the cost down a lot. This was done in 2011 at a cost of $386.00 total.
