Next message: Steven Dubnoff: "Re: T&T: tank manufacturer"
As I mentioned earlier, the West brand rope was priced *higher* than New
England on the same shelf. I'll admit that the West line peaking out of the
carton looked like the New England line, but that means nothing. Cheap
stranded nylon completely unlays when you go to splice it. I must say that
the New England spliced eyes were not served and the ends were poorly melted
closed, but New England has proven its superiority in review after review.
Of interest to us, it always rates high on abrasion resistance. Just a
former subscriber to "Practical Sailor" and a current one to "PowerBoat
Reports."

| Problem is many retailers go private label for

| pride behind the name.
