If you are not frightened by the cost, best solution is dyneema strap on a wheel. Lightweight, floating and the wheel makes it easy to deploy/collect.

Just make an arrangement to use an extra line or chain to connect the shore end to the shore fixed object and not the dyneeme strap directly.


The flat nylon “ wheels “ are crazy money , I can Imagine dyneema Versions are for the certifiably insane


My 100M 18mm hollow braid cost €160
