Nylon being hygroscopic will absorb up ~8% water. The addition of water
allows the material's long chain molecular structure to stretch to a
greater degree without breaking. The other benefit is that the line
will return to a greater degree back to it's original length.
This becomes critical in FAI where line length needs to be some value
than 150M...just in case officialdom wants to measure your line length.
I used to soak all my nylon props to increase safety many many moons ago.
