Interesting stuff from the Puget Sound Rope people.
I had no problem with the ultimate strength of the spectra/dyneema line. It
was more than adequately strong and I still have the line. I just can't
find a use for it. It's too big for sheets and too inelastic for mooring
lines.
I do, however, stand by my comments re: creep. It was persistant, constant,
and the switch to vectran of the same diameter cured the problem.
