Not non-stretch, just lower 
In Response To: I't's my understanding that some stretch is desirable for cruising. ()
() Less stretch than XLS by about a factor of 2-3 in the size I use. Cover is polyester braid. Just a bit lighter than XLS because of the polypro/spectra in the core. You can also use a size smaller with the same stretch and shape holding characteristics as XLS-I use 1/2" Extra where recommended XLS is 9/16" for sheets and have for 10+ years.
