The last time I checked, WW safety lines were expected to meet 1100lb rating. Ditto rescue belts on PFDs. Tow belts on sea kayak PFDs are rarely rated at 1100lb - I think mine is around 600. My WW PFD has a two inch belt, the SK's is only 1.5 inch. I can't see any need for anything stronger in SK. Many of us are still trying to find a meaninful use for the rescue lines under CG regs.
