Blue rope

[brians]

Does blue mooring warp deteriorate more quickly than white?

You mean the same material for each?
I have a white nylon and a black polyester. The nylon is weathering less well.

depends if you mean the blue polypropylene lorry type rope which does degrade due to UV at an alarming rate.

I've read somewhere that 'blue polypropylene rope has no place on a sail boat'. Generally I would concur as it degrades quickly and seems to pick up seaweed and algal growth very rapidly.

My interest is in 12mm polyester.

I bought some blue polyester which started fraying after only one use. I have now sent it back to the supplier ("No one has ever complained before").
