Dacron polyester twin braid (not 3 strand) has a very low stretch. I have
walked on Dacron jib sheets (like a tight rope walker) with no discernable
deflection of the line. Jib sheets on Sparkman Stephens 56 ft yawl (Circe)
in transit from New York Yacht Club to San Diego Yacht Club.
I wouldn't use "just any ole rope and guys are an excellent choice.

And temporary guys must NOT be rope. Don't ask! Rope stretches. It is
no fun to ride even 10 or 20 feet of tower to the ground. Use the guy
material you will be putting on permanently with turnbuckles etc so you
can tighten up those temporary guys. 73 bob de w9ge
