How often do you collect money from the catamarans? With 11 catamarans on your island you would expect 1.1 ropes every round of collections with the current 10% drop rate. If you only collect for example 4 times a day you will only get 4 or maybe 5 ropes per day and it will take up to 20 days to complete this quest. The minimum time (without gems and such) to collect from the catamarans is 1:03 hours, so you can get nearly 23 collections every day. If you manage to do that you will complete the quest within 4 days.

About the validity of the drop rate: it was taken directly from the source files back when we still had access to them. Since that isn't the case anymore I can't check if it has been changed, but I seriously doubt it has. 10% just is a very terrible drop rate.
