Just how far do you think a 4 fold 3/4" nylon is going to stretch ?
Depends on the length & the load.
Ill tell you...maybe 2-4 " in a gust that would put the rail under.
Nylon is still a stupid rope to use for sheets. It's
stretchy, slick, less resistance to chafe, high tendency to
kink & hockle, difficult to handle. The only plus I can
think of is that it's cheap.
I'm not sailing a little trailor sailor ya know. You wanna use spectra
and carbon feel free.
Hey Joe, do you think these are little trailer sailers?

High dollar line will do no better than nylon
Wrong.
In many cases, and for many people's choices, hi-tech rope
may not be enough better to be worth the extra cost.
