I am changing them out.
I have used this line for recreational dinghy control lines for a few years. I they were inexpensive and worked good enough for a time. However, I am planning to change them to something else as they do not seem to like being spliced and bowlines tied in them tend to slip under load on the water. A backup overhand knot in the tail end did work to hold the bowline and really is absolutely necessary for any sort of confidence to be had in the knot. I imagine there are better lines out there for just a few dollars more per line
