Data
Hi,
He's usually a very, very reliable source, but those figures on Sta-Set vs VPC are wrong. Sta-Set is rated at1.6% stretch at 10% load, and VPC at .7% at 10% load. Yup, less than half the stretch. The 2 ropes are approximately the same strength. The handiest place to check this is on West Marine's site.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
