Marine-grade dock lines and anchor ropes engineered for saltwater environments. UV-resistant, durable construction for reliable boat mooring and anchoring.
Understanding marine rope applications
Best for: Boat mooring, securing vessels to docks, temporary tie-up
Dock lines are designed to keep your boat secured to a dock or slip. They need to be strong enough to handle wind and wave action while having enough stretch to absorb shock loads. Double-braid nylon is the most common construction, offering excellent strength, shock absorption, and durability. Often come with pre-spliced eyes for easy attachment.
Best for: Boat anchoring, permanent mooring, heavy-duty applications
Anchor lines (rode) connect your boat to the anchor. They must handle significant loads and provide shock absorption during wave action. Three-strand twisted nylon is traditional and stretches well. Double-braid offers higher strength and less stretch. Rope diameter and length depend on boat size - typically 7x water depth minimum.
