Still, check with your insurance company and/or an insurance surveyor. They may not “allow” synthetic line and only approve uncovered stainless steel.

According to Sail Magazine article it’s less of a propeller today. “Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene, or HMPE, popularly known as Dyneema or Spectra, is some 15 times stronger than steel weight-for-weight; 5mm (3/16)Amsteel Blue has a tensile strength of 5,400lb. It’s also versatile, chafe-resistant, easy to splice and more resistant to UV degradation than many other fibers. Among its many other uses on board, it has become popular for lifeline replacement.” Jerry https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.sailmagazine.com/.amp/diy/know-how-replacing-lifelines Sent from my iPhone On May 12, 2019, at 10:02 PM, Charlie Nelson via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com<mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com>> wrote: Agree in general but has such high tech line solved its limited lifetime under constant UV? This problem led me to go with bare SS a few years ago instead of such high tech line.
