Where to buy
Specifications
- Rope length
- 50 ft
- Thimble spliced in
- Yes
This Seachoice anchor line is 3/8 inch by 50 feet of white three-strand twisted nylon, finished with a professionally spliced galvanized thimble. The maker says it is made to take the dynamic shock loads of a boat at anchor, and calls it flexible and easy to handle. Because the thimble is spliced in, the line arrives with its eye already made.
Our take
The spliced galvanized thimble means the eye on this 50 foot, 3/8 inch nylon line is already made, and the maker says the line is built for the dynamic shock loads of a boat at anchor. It is also flexible and easy to handle.
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.
