| Double braid nylon line |
Nylon is normally considered the standard for dock lines, mooring lines and anchor lines. The two most used types are 3 strand nylon and double braid nylon. Both types have their fans and both are great workhorses. My purpose today is to mention the main advantages of db nylon rope. First, it feels nice and smooth as it runs through your hands. Second, it does not (hockle) tangle. Third, it is about 10% stronger than 3 strand. Lastly, it stretches less. The last factor is an advantage in terms of keeping your boat in place, but can be a disadvantage in severe conditions when a little extra stretch can be an advantage extending the point when the line will break. I hope this information helped either as a review or new facts.
