When sunbvi says "lifelines", I"m assuming he means a safety harness and a line hooked to something - not the lifelines that run through the stanchions around the gunwales.

Yes, Tom, you are completely right. I am sorry for that. I wasn´t aware that lifeline has another meaning in english. In future I will try to write more carefully :-)

Thanks for this explanation and Happy New Year to all :-)
