Nylon vs Polyester
does anyone know why nylon is preffered over polyester when it comes to a anchor rode. it would be used after the initial 175' of 3/8" G40 chain the polyester is stronger than the nylon 3/4" mega braid nylon only has a breaking strenght of 15,000 where as the chain is 16200 so it would make nylon the weak point. 3/4" polyester 12 strand has a breaking strenght of 22,700. thoughts?
