The thing I liked about the rope I saw is that it has an outer sheath
to make it pleasanter to handle and protect the poly from sunlight.
The lack of spring is another reason not to want to use such a large
diameter.

Might as well flail this one to death as well.. I know
polypropalene
floats but it doesn't have the spring of nylon. It also has this
great
habit of breaking down in sunlight. Not the best choice for your
favourite dinghy. I was curious what the approach of this floating
painter might be. Now I guess the engineers and chemists can get in
on
the beef with the lawyers and managers.
