NYLON ROPE - 3 STRAND LAID
This white nylon 3 strand rope is around twice as strong as silver rope.This allows a smaller diameter rope to be used which proves cost effective. Nylon rope is the strongest and most elastic synthetic fibre UV resistant rope. It is easy to handle, has great elasticity,shock absorbtion and abrasion resistance.Nylon rope is ideal for mooring lines, towing slings, commercial fishing applications and as a high quality, easy to handle anchor rope.

- This rope is a three strand laid polyethylene.
Anchor rope is a vital part of your boat equipment.
It needs to be long enough to pull the anchor horizontally so that the flutes dig in properly.
A suitable length of ground chain should be used.
An increased rope to bottom angle decreases the holding power.
In fair weather conditions a rope length of three times the depth of water will be adequate.
In other weather this should be increased five to ten times.
A ground chain of approximately 75% of the boat length is recommended for fair weather.
Nylon
To obtain maximum holding power of your anchor, the warp or rope part of the rode should always be 3 strand laid Nylon- This is because of its great strength and stretch. Silver (Staple fibre polyester), polypropylene and polyethylene ropes should never be used because they have no elasticity. The lower tensile strength of these ropes, (in case of Silver, about 50% that of Nylon) can be overcome by using a larger diameter size, but there is no way they can absorb all the impact loads like nylon does.
Anchor and mooring lines are subject to impact loads superimposed on static tensile loads by waves and wind gusts.The ability to absorb sudden shocks not only adds to the holding power of the rope but also reduces the end loads imparted on the anchor and on mooring cleats.
Bent shanks are a common problem with most anchors when they are properly embedded in the sea bed. The "rubber band" effect of nylon takes out most of these impact forces and instead of the shank bending, the anchor pulling out, or the deck cleats breaking away the nylon anchor rode just stretches.
