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? http://www.alfaromeo.com.au/images/s...lenghi-R02.jpg 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. DSK |
