This is an anchor line from Seachoice, made of solid nylon braid. It is 3/16 in in diameter and 100 ft long. The maker describes the braided nylon as rot proof and able to resist abrasion. The line is fitted with a zinc galvanized spring hook, so it comes with a metal fitting on the end already attached.
Our take
The rot proof, abrasion resistant nylon braid is the feature to look at. Rot proofing means the fibre itself is not the worry in a damp locker, and abrasion resistance counts where the line works against a chock or roller. It is finished with a zinc galvanized spring hook.
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.
