Lines for davits and towing

[Privilege]

I'm with Uncivilized and others on choosing dyneema/spectra for the lifting slings. I got my 1/4 dyneema from eBay at $15 for 50'. It has a 6400lb WLL, it doesn't scratch or mark your dink, even for a novice it's super easy to splice and once you've done it, you'll never want to splice double braid again.

I was thankful for that decision a couple of months ago when I raised the dink on the davits and forgot to remove the drain plug. With heavy rain overnight, the 10' dink was two thirds full when I discovered my mistake. Fortunately, the dyneema and davits held it without drama.
