3/4" or 5/8" nylon for mooring pennant on CD22D?

[JimS]

Should I use 3/4" or 5/8" nylon for a double mooring pennant on a CD22D? Just bought boat a few months ago and still on the hard. I tried some 3/4" and two lenghts of it on top of one another fit quite snugly around the bow cleat. I'm not sure whether to go to 5/8" so that it would fit less tightly around the bow cleat. Thanks.

Our harbor and mooring regulations call for 5/8 for a 22 foot vessel.

I had a 22 foot Merit for 10 years before I perchased my CD. I used 2, 5/8 with a 1/4 to prevent it slipping off the cleat. I also had a piece of chain shackled to the mooring light chain, that I attached to the Bow eye for storms.
