Marlow D12 is great for whoopie slings-its made from the same stuff as amsteel blue (dyneema sk75) but is not quite as strong as amsteel blue for its width.
If you can get marlow then you should be able to get english braids(english braids own marlow). They do a "dynamic" line which is pre-stretched sk75-its better than marlow d12.

The whoopie sling will sit in the channel happily on its own and the tail of the whoopie sling will act as a drip line. I haven't had any water make it accross the tail yet although i've not had a prolonged deluge yet with the whoopies.

Hi there
I've seen the thread on the US sites about the Amsteel slings, what's to stop you using Paracord? It break at 250kgs which is well over double my weight. Anyone used it? I've done this type of splicing for years to make carp fishing rigs so I doubt it would be hard to do.
Any thoughts?
Gareth
