[Rhodes22-list] short inhaul line - How about a professional answer?

[TN Rhodey]

Burt, I am with you.....there may be some shrinkage but now way a new marine
nylon line will shrink that much just because it got wet. There is different
quality line available but I don't think any marine line will shrink that
much.
