🔍 Key Concepts

• synthetic vs natural fiber lines and how their materials affect elasticity • the difference between working stretch (elasticity under load) and breaking strength • common shipboard uses of each line type: polypropylene, nylon, dacron (polyester), and manila

💭 Think About

• Which material is preferred for applications where you need a lot of shock absorption, such as towing or mooring in a seaway? • Of the four options, which material is known for being the most elastic (springy) rather than just strong? • How do natural fiber lines (like manila) generally compare in stretch to synthetic fiber lines?

✅ Before You Answer

• Compare the elastic (springy) behavior of each material, not just strength or cost • Recall which line is often cautioned about for dangerous snap‑back when it parts, because it stores so much energy in stretch • Be sure you can separate polyester (dacron) properties from nylon properties; they do not stretch the same amount
