I recently came across a high-quality floating
polypropylene line for dinghy painters and such. It
has much finer fibers than the usual cheap poly line,
and holds up in sunlight much better. It is easy on
the hands, and is an all-around nice line that floats.
You can't get it at West or Defender, but it is
commonly found in Wal-Mart stores and some hardware
stores, not in the boating area, but in the hardware
dept, next to the clothesline. I think the 3/8"
diameter line was around $10/50 ft.
