This is a Seachoice anchor line made of twisted three-strand nylon, finished in white. The diameter is 1/2 in and the length is 200 ft, and the maker intends it for anchoring. The nylon is meant to soak up sudden shock loads. A galvanized steel thimble comes with the line, so a metal fitting for attaching the anchor is already included.
Our take
A galvanized steel thimble comes with this 1/2 in x 200 ft nylon line, so the anchor has an attachment point without you sourcing one. The nylon is meant to absorb sudden shock loads, which is the job a rode does when the boat snubs at anchor.
From our buying guide
The Coast Guard's general guidance is to let out five to seven times the depth of water plus the distance from the surface to the bow. Samson says nylon is used in anchor lines because its elasticity absorbs shock loads.
Check before you buy:
- The length gives you that scope in the water where you anchor.
- The chain included is what you want, since products include different lengths of chain: 4 ft in some and 15 ft in others.
- You can get at any rope-to-chain splice, which New England Ropes says to check regularly and remake at any evidence of wear.
