🔍 Key Concepts

• Differences between synthetic fibers and natural fibers used in marine rope • How moisture absorption affects mildew and rot formation • Common properties of nylon, polypropylene, manila, and Dacron (polyester) in a marine environment

💭 Think About

• First, separate the choices into natural fiber vs synthetic fiber lines. Which group generally resists mildew and rot better? • Among the synthetic lines listed, think about which ones float and which ones absorb the least water. • Which material is commonly chosen for situations where the line is constantly wet or exposed to the elements and long‑term rot resistance is important?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option(s) are natural fiber (these are more prone to rot). • For each synthetic option, consider water absorption: materials that absorb less water tend to resist mildew/rot better. • Recall which listed material is often described as having excellent resistance to chemicals, moisture, and biological growth in basic seamanship texts.
