Perhaps 22mm.
I know that it measures 3/4" but I always thought that line od was always bigger than what it actually is . I've always been con fused on this .I was trying to size a cleat for this line . Would a 9 inch cleat be good for this or would it be too small.I had a small bolt down sampson post before and it didn't matter what the size was .3/4
You can see better than us ..... Why do you ask?
The question is what cleat does it fit best?
5/8 is 10/16 , which firs a 10 inch cleat
3/4 is 12/16, so needs a 12 inch cleat,
Maybe my thinking on this only applies to braided line and not twisted ?I know that it measures 3/4" but I always thought that line od was always bigger than what it actually is .

Get the biggest cleat you can that fits/looks ok/you can afford. If you ever have to storm tie the boat, it is easy to run out of cleat when adding lines.
Thanks Steve that was what I was thinking.I guess though when you are sizing cleats you should go with at least as big as the rope measures or larger .This rope needs at least a 12" cleat.This rope looks to measure 3/4" but is sold as 5/8" I don't know the reason, maybe rope is sized while tightly wound or twisted? In the picture it is lying "natural" but not untwisted. It is nylon rope "Hecho en Mexico" I believe it was $185.00 for a 600 foot spool when I bought it in Houma La. 5 years ago.
Goodness. I did not know cleats were so finicky. It's amazing that I didn't have more boats escape than I did.
See that Dad. It wasn't my fault when the rowboat got away from the dock in June 1975; it was the improper cleat size.
How does one size line for bullrails?
