##  I will second this.   I bought several hundred feet of  .3125 inch....  five  sixteenths   dacron rope. 
The  .3125  stuff   has  a whopping  1770 lbs  rating.   The dacron rope  that  davis rf sells  is one helluva lot  stronger 
than the  .. textiles industries version sold by  DXE and others.  Like  apples and oranges. 

##  Even the .1875  dacron rope is  strong.... at   770 lbs.   The .1875 dacron rope is  stronger than the .25 inch made by   textile industries. 

##  Its  relatively inexpensive.
