Don't know that length but I really like the line with no core. It is softer in the hands and does not kink.

Don't know the length. I have a single line system and usually just buy 100' and put the left over in the spare rope box. Thanks to Kris H. we are currently using this. It does not kink up and is good on the hands. We're using 4mm.

I used 4mm FSE Robline Dinghy Control for my new spin halyard - it has a good hand, doesn't hockle, and tapers really nicely. Love it.
