Hi all, I have two young children and am looking to add an extra layer of protection while on the water. From what I have seen of safety netting, there appears to be a requirement of some sort of loops at the bottom of each stanchion to string a bottom line. As you can see in my pictures, I don't have that. Any recommendations of work arounds or products for safety netting? Thanks.

Recreational boats do not have the railing requirements like commercial vessels or yachts

Training and education should be the first thing. Young children should not be on the foredeck without supervision

You can also have canvas sewn up as panels for your bow rail. However that will limit vision. Making acrylic panels would also work, however you would need 3/8" thick acrylic.
