Yesterday, I bought my client a gift to cheer him up after all the boat problems he's been dealing with. The boat came with really crappy dock lines that were very stiff three-strand nylon twist. I suspect the previous owner left the crappy lines behind and took the good ones for his next boat. He needed nylon double braided lines, which are very easy to handle, feel nice in your hands, and are strong. Unfortunately, they are also expensive. (1/2)
