Question on Dyneema. Are you happy with it to lift your dinghy. What diameter are you using.
Thanks, Mike

Since Dyneema is just ridiculously strong, any diameter would work. Generally it will come down to what diameter is the easiest to work with. 1/8" would be plenty strong for your application but too thin and light to be easy to work with. I have 1/4" on my crane and will replace it with the same however 3/16 " would work as well.
Often it is sold in mm so I would look at 6mm line.
