The clove-hitches i mentioned are just as if you are laying ratl'ns across three shrouds instead of just between two. If the hitches are tightly made-up, and the line well-tarred before and after, i've never known them to slip a bit.
i've used Roblon and other hemp lookalikes, but actually prefer spun-Dacron three-strand; not quite as ultimately strong, but the initially fuzzy texture really saoks up the tarry goodness.
