Specifications
- Rope length
- 75 ft
This is a 75-foot length of white anchor line, 3/8 inch in diameter, made from hollow braid polypropylene. A spring hook on one end is there to attach the anchor. The galvanized hook is meant for easy attachment, and the line is described as flexible and easy to handle. It can be stored wet without risk of rot. The maker points it at mushroom anchors and light duty work.
Our take
The line is pitched at mushroom anchors and light duty applications, so treat 3/8 inch by 75 feet of hollow braid polypropylene as a light-duty rode, not heavy ground tackle. It can be stored wet without risk of rot, so a damp coil in a locker is not a problem.
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.
