Mooring ropes are ropes used to secure boats to a dock, pier, or buoy. Polypropylene and nylon are common materials for mooring ropes, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Polypropylene is known for its buoyancy and resistance to rot and mildew, while nylon is prized for its strength and ability to absorb shock loads.
