I am in the process of designing a tow rope system consisting of a 15'
one side, 50(?)' on the other with shock cord on both.  the rationale
for the 50' was to be long enough to span breakers.  This represents
quite a bit of bulk however, and if there are some good arguments for
shortening the long one I woudl be very happy hearing it.
