arguably the toughest stuff around for that purpose.


even tougher is wormng, then parcelling with sailcloth then serving with
Spectra fishing line. Put it inside the fire hose if you want a belts and
suspenders approach.

Use braided line instead of three-strand and you have less stretch through the
chock, and you save the worming. Braided line should be used only as a safety
line rolling hitched on to the three-strand, and braided doesn't stretch enough
for max protection.

Braided line to secure to a dock in a storm is IMHO suicidal.
