I't's my understanding that some stretch is desirable for cruising.
In Response To: I use XLS Extra ()

I've always believed that lines that have no stretch (like Spectra) should not be used for sheets. Sheets should always have a bit of spring to them to absorb shock .

So,,, what's with the non-stretch sheet preference? This is new to me and is against what has been taught for years.
