    [RC] yacht braid high line - Paddi


    Rope used for boating does stretch or at least some of it does.
    It needs the stretch when tied to a dock ect.
    The yacht braid we use for halters and leads does not stretch more then 1% to 2%. It depends on what it is to be used for on the boat .
    I highline all the time and use the 5/8" poly feels like plastic rope for my high line and my tarp ropes. It is cheap and easy to find. Lasts a few years.
    I use tree huggers  ( we sell a set of 6 for $25US) and I carry a ladder so I can get high.
    I braided a snap into one end of my high line rope so it just snaps to the rings on the tree hugggers
    When we camp we make tarp barns and all kinds of neat stuff like shower stalls ect.
    I use the Jack strap snap to hang hay bags . Also works to lock in place for horses if I don't want them moving up and down the line.
    I have a HITIE system on my trailer for rides. Just put it on makes sense because it is sooooo easy and quick when I am only camping for a weekend.
    I will contact my rope supplier and get a discription of all tyopes of rope and post it in the future.
