Shoot, I'm too cheap to use nice braided line at my slip and have always used 3 strand twisted nylon. Not only is it a lot cheaper than braided but it doesn't give as much (probably why they use it for most anchor rodes). |

I am pretty cheap too. At the slip, its all about image, I am poor, the rest are not I have a hoist, so the ropes are just to square it up before raising it out of the water |

To those with older lines, have you ever tried washing them? I won't go into the ridiculous amount of rope I have on board, however, I will share my success washing rope in my washing machine at home. I've done my 4 strand anchor rode, 3 strand lines for tying to shore, and double branded dock lines. I soak them in oxy clean, than put them in a mesh bag and wash them in a front loader with some more oxy. Great results every time. |

A little fabric softener helps as well. |
