West Marine 1/2x22 x 15& Premium Double Braided Nylon Dock Line - Red

Description

Best choice for dock lines to carry onboard port to port. The LENGTH, SIZE, WEIGHT and TYPE of BOAT and just how expose the docking location is, all need to be considered in choosing a dock line size. Torque-free non-hockling; stays flexible and very easy to handle. Spring lines should equal the boat's length. The following is a general guide but windy or higher wave locations may require more and heavier lines.Transient dock lines used as bow and stern lines should be about 2/3 of the boat's length. Controlled manufacturing ensures a line that is well balanced, torque free and won't unlay under heavy loading. The bitter end is whipped and ready to be lashed to a cleat. The double braid nylon weave creates a soft and friendly touch while maintaining an immense working load. High elongation; stretches 6.5% at 20% of breaking strength. This line will stand up to the elements of the marine environment and keep your boat safe.Ready made with professional 12" eye splice and bitter end heat sealed and whipped.. Higher twisting of yarns and strands produces a denser, rounder rope with higher abrasion resistance that is less likely to snag.
