6 mm (about 1/4 in) 12-strand single-braid UHMWPE rope, cut to the length you need from a 500 m roll. UHMWPE (ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene) is very light for its size, floats, and stretches very little. 12-strand construction is easy to splice.

- Soft shackles, loops and lashings you splice yourself
- Low-stretch control lines and small running rigging, once you've confirmed the size suits your hardware
Not for
Lifelines, jacklines, standing rigging, towing, lifting, climbing, rescue or any life-safety application. UHMWPE creeps under sustained load and is weakened by heat, knots and sharp bends.
