No Herculean strength here. I will add to my statement. Mine are red

to pull it up to the trailer ramps. Almost turned to powder. Broke it
several more times just to see if the whole length was rotten.

Polyester just can't handle the sun.


Amen! We used some polyester rope on our catamaran. In the sun it didn't
last long enough to even talk about. Polyester rope must have been designed
for use in basements and long tunnels.
