Polyester webbing is hard to find, and nylon stretches a lot, so lately I've wondered about the advisablity of using Amsteel Blue for jacklines. I used it for lifelines and I like it. I've read Brion's suggestion to locate jacklines high and outboard, though I envision running these along the side decks tight against the cabin to the anchor bit.
Pro--it doesn't stretch, it's plenty strong, resists chafe and UV damage.
Con--it's round & slippery, a possible problem if it's located where you walk, and could be mistaken for running rigging in the dark (though it doesn't feel anything like Sta-set).
Has anyone any experience with it in that application, or any thoughts you'd like to share?
Thanks.
