Lifelines on a P165 are a necessity in my opinion. The 165 feels and sails like a keel boat and every keel boat needs lifelines (in my opinion). The boat did not have when I bought her and my local Precision dealer installed them for me for $500, very reasonable I thought. I also used the boat to teach my 12, 7 and 5 year old kids to sail. So again lifelines were needed when I had my 12 year old daughter walk on deck to raise the jib, spinnaker, etc.
