We've been using Amsteel Blue for certain applications on the boat
that require high strength, low stretch and durability. It's great
stuff. It's lighter than water so it floats - ideal for towing things
like dinghies. We get ours from Defender Industries in Connecticut.

I guess I don't do anything that demanding.
1/2" 3 lay nylon seems to get the job done for me. I don't really use
lines that often tho. It is on the lift or underway for me most of the
time. I did freshen up all my lines a year or so ago. I got 150' from
All Line Rope and made up some lines of different lengths with eyes
and back splices on the ends. I also found some stainless snap hooks
to replace the old bronze ones.
