At a senior's suggestion, (even if he was born later than I was ) this has been moved to the main PIF thread. Find it there.
DO NOT REPLY HERE. GO TO MAIN PIF THREAD
Please: A day or two wait, before folks with my opportunity to visit a real bricks and mortar boating supply store for sample lengths of Amsteel jump in.
Two items:
Before Amsteel Blue there was Spectra (and Vectran) and other line / rope made of similar fiber with similar strength, but different handling properties.
I took a position in what a rocketeer (I think) thought was 1/8" Spectra, but which weighs per ft the same as 7/64 Amsteel. I doubt it's strength is 1000lb, but would be confident it is more than 500. 8 strand, very spliceable, just as demanding of blades for cutting as Amsteel blue. I may have been risk-taking / foolish to hang from it over concrete; but it is excellent for learning to splice and for ridgelines and whoopies for tarps.
1. 30 ft. of the above Spectra rope
2. 30 ft. of the above Spectra rope
This stuff is light. I will post a 1st class envelope of it anywhere in the world.
