I would try these people:

They have all sorts of stuff lying around. Best to call them ir if you are anywhere near pop in. Sort of old style Alidins cave for boat stuff.

these people have stuff up to 48mm dia.

And I bought some natural hemp of about the same size from a garden centre about 5 yrs ago. I'll try and remember where.

I bought some real 32mm choir from the chandlery on West Mersea a couple of years ago for my swim platform and was quite surprised how reasonable it was, must get around to putting it on some time.

Look for tug operators in your area, they often end up with broken lines. also great to lay in steep street gutters if you have a low slung vehicle.

Often the heavy lines are almost new and will last many years.

Good luck and fair winds.
