Bob Homme Richard? Auto correct strikes again.

The lines I count on are all NER. Considering all of our boat-related expenses, NER doesn't even show on our radar.
In my opinion New England Rope is the best with Sampson second. The rest is worth what you pay for it. It won’t last as long so in the end which is the better value?
Many ferries are named after males. Important men in the government that controls the ferries.Lol very interesting. I like the history and traditions of boat lore. I’ll pick and chose the ones I feel are important, and line vs rope, might not be one of them. But one thing that bugs me is when a boat has a male name. That’s one that I won’t abide by!
You said it was your opinion, how do you know that? Do you have any facts and/or experience. I have found that many products, domestic or foreign, run the range from junk to excellent and that's my opinion based on sixty years of facts and experience on the water.
FYI,
Once rope is purchased and put on a boat and assigned or put to a job like being a mooring line it becomes a line. Mooring lines, anchor lines ect. Not mooring ropes or anchor ropes.
Stowed on a boat rope is just rope.
But I don’t know if it’s proper to call rope in the store line. I’d guess not but ?

Thanks for that review! I was looking at sea choice and they seemed to be pretty high quality based on reviews and their “official looking” specs.
Actually, I think quite the opposite. I use my junk lines while travelling as they wear faster with the crappy tie up places you sometimes wind up with. I rather trash an old line than a brand new, high quality line.If your Dock queen Any rope will do. But if your a traveler only the best lines will do.
