Spun polyester rope is favored by boaters and professionals for its balanced combination of strength, ease of handling, and weather resistance. Like all polyesters, it is more UV resistant and has a longer life than equivalent nylon line. The rope is used on classic boats and dinghies for halyards, sheets and control lines, and is also used as sailmakers' bolt rope. Despite its 3-strand construction, this rope retains some noticeable stretch under load due to its polyester composition.
