20. What is the critical point in nylon line elongation?
Nylon line reaches its critical snap-back point at 40% elongation, representing the highest risk of violent recoil if the line parts. This value is recognized in seamanship practices and USCG guidance, distinguishing it from lower stretch percentages that pose less immediate danger and higher percentages nearing failure.
