Thank you. Tomorrow I will buy some rope for my boat.

3-strand is a lot more flexible/elastic than single or double braided, not the other way around like you say in your video.

I have a question. For a 45 footer, what are the pros and cons of using the 5/8" polyester double braids. Can it be used instead of the 8 strands or 3 strands? This is for the installation of permanent anchor line used on the dock. Considering to use 20kg danforth anchor with 3 to 5 meters of chain, and then 5/8" double braid polyester rope tail. Depth is about 5 to 7 meters deep. Do you think the 3m of chains would suffice? or 5m or more required for this.The bottom is mostly few inches of mud sediments on top and sand gravels down underneath.

informative, straight and to the point. Thanks

Braid doesn't twist up and get knotted up because it's less stretchy during storage. Keep all ropes stored dry and out of the sun when not in use.
