Can anyone help me please? I am looking for a set of mooring lines for my Hunter Horizon 30. The boat weighs about 3 1/3 tonnes, any advice on line diameter and material?

I'm thinking of bow and stern lines about 9m long and springs around 15m, again any views.

I've looked at a few web sites which quote breaking strains, should each line be sized to the weight of the boat?

I am thinking 14mm at the moment as this will be easy to handle.

The lines will be for short term mooring in marinas in the UK as she is normaly on a swing mooring and held on chain.
