seems fairly well priced..

Cheers Dave

Dont know about this particular brand. I have lewmar 8 plait for my Maxwell windlass and will not go back to 3 strand nylon...it just becomes to stiff over time whereas the 8 plait doesn't.

Dave that link takes me to double braided nylon not 8 plait. Sorry I asked the ? for the wrong product. BTW breaking strain for 6mm DB nylon is 950kg. SWL he said should be 1/5 of that.
