Most mooring and anchor line is three strand nylon and there is nothing wrong with it. But we all know that it can capture salt and stiffen and when that happens it can stiffen and be reluctant to go around cleats and allow itself to be coiled. This downside can be avoided if you replace it with 8 plait nylon line. That line construction is a pleasure to work with as it remains pliable and coilable. The reason it was not much seen on boats was the price. We are pleased to tell you that Budget Marine now has 8 plait at only slightly more than the 3 strand twisted and we even have it in black which does not show the dirt. It is pure nylon and a pure pleasure to coil and apply to cleats.
