I just replaced my dock lines after only three years... the braided lines I was using were just getting cut in so many different places they just didn't seem safe to me. Sure, I put chafe protection on the lines, but they still manage to catch and cut in various places.

I got braid again as it does handle well... but I was looking at the boxes and the ads on the boxes seem to indicate that 3 strand is more abrasion resistant. (stuff is cheaper too...)

So just wondering is three strand really better at abrasion resistance than braid?

Meanwhile, I have to go sew some leather and "firehose" onto my braid...
