Funny you should mention that...

We are playing around with a new rope called 'Paraloc'  that is made in
Europe; most of it is high tech sheets and halyards (we do that stuff too)
but one version is nylon with rubber woven into the braid; it is made
specifically for mooring lines.  Imagine a cross between bungy cord and
braided rope.

If anybody wants to contact me off line I will tell them about it.
