Hi,
We are considering replacing our dock lines.

We keep the boat in a slip with two bow lines and criss-crossed stern lines.

Trying to find an answer as to what the minimal tensile strength of the
lines must be in both normal up to 30 knot winds and or course up to
hurricane 75 knots or so wind for our 12000 pound C320.

I know that the lines should probably be three strand nylon to have some
stretch.

But I can't find a source for what the minimal tensile strength line should
be.
