I used my lines for the first time this weekend,. As soon as they hit the water the color came off. By the afternoon the lines Disintegrated and my boat floated away!
Just joking.
That is how my stories normally go but not this time! The lines are beautiful. I ordered additional lines and fender lines twice already.! I'm so glad I found Chris!!

Its been such a love fest thread with these sewn poly lines.
No disputing polypropylene braid can be just as good looking as nylon, quick to produce and cheap BUT Nylon still rules for durability and strength.
Poly works fine for day boating raft ups but will deteriorate with full time exposure to sunlight, much more susceptible to abrasion. Plus the general nature of the poly is not as strong as nylon to handle the pounding of a storm not to mention a sewn eye.

I use poly on my 150ft steel hull supply boat. The get drenched in salt water daily and hang in the sun all day very day. They still hold me in place.
I also splice all my own poly. It holds just fine. That article is skewed
