Our dock lines are handmade using premium 100% nylon 3-strand twisted rope. The medium lay construction of our 3-strand is ideal for dock lines given its stretch, shock absorption and abrasion resistant characteristics. Nylon is inherently resistant to most chemicals, heat, rot, mildew and UV which makes it perfect for marine use. Our dock lines have a professionally spliced soft eye with 6 tucks and heavy-melt tails. The bitter end is melted, dipped and optionally whipped with thread in your choice of 7 colors.
-Lengths available in 5' increments from 10' - 75' / 3 - 23 m
-3 soft eye sizes available: 12", 18", 24" or 36". Optional Chafe Pro anti-chafe sleeve spliced into soft eye is available, too*
-We also offer Chafe Master anti-chafe sleeves as an option for the line*
-For boats up to 40' - 50' / 12 - 15 m
Avg Tensile Strength: 12,700 lbs / 5,796 kgs
Our 3-strand nylon rope meets the Cordage Institutes CI-1303 standard.
Tensile strengths for new rope are based on tests in accordance with ASTM Test Method D-4268 on new and unused rope in laboratory conditions.
*We use Chafe Pro exclusively for soft eyes because it's supple and, therefore, easy to make fast to cleats and other hardware. However, Chafe Pro is ridiculously expensive so we use Chafe Master sleeves for the lines. It is equally durable, but not as pliable.
