This video looks good for three strand rope. Would it work for 14mm dyneema. I want to make a new hawser.

Cheers for that link Claverton.

I've seen a few different videos but that one just seemed to click for me. I've just finished my 1st ones now. Thanks.

If you mean a riser instead of hawser I would suggest 3 strand nylon.

yes, guess it is a riser, it goes from horn cleat on bow down to swivel.
I thought dyneema was much stronger than nylon and therefore good for this purpose.

What's a riser? Are we talking about an anchor rode? Docking line? Snubber?

16mm has a 4500kg break or 20mm @ 6900kg
