I realize this is anchor line. However, being round braid polypro had me thinking.
1/4" X 50' HOLLOW BRAID ANCHOR LINE
Economy anchor line for smaller boats. Made from 100% polypropylene fibers. Line floats and is rot proof. Plated steel snap-hook with large mouth to accommodate any anchor design.
Safe Working Load.....90 LBS.
Breaking Strength......850 LBS.
Probably not hammock do-able.
Then there's this one:
3/8" X 75' HOLLOW BRAID ANCHOR LINE
Economy anchor line for smaller boats. Made from 100% polypropylene fibers. Line floats and is rot proof. Plated steel snap-hook with large mouth to accommodate any anchor design.
Safe Working Load.....150 LBS.
Breaking Strength......1420 LBS.
Bigger diameter, yeah I know. But could this be usable for suspension lines? I see the Safe working load is 150, BUT break strength is 1420. How do they figure SWL being so far below breaking strength? Could I consider that as "lawyer speak"? Your thoughts please.
I've been using unrated braid "clothesline" on my diy at home and it is holding. Not sure if its nylon or what as the bag was tossed out a while ago.
Oh yeah www.seasense.com its under "Cordage" in the left column. Their dock lines are apparently nylon so probably wouldn't be a good choice.
