Nylon double-braided dock l are made with 100% white nylon yard or Firestone-coloured yard and are specially designed to provide excellent strength, flexibility and colour retention. Nylon double-braid offers predictable controlled elongation, UV protection, and resists abrasion, oil, rot and mildew. Bridgeline's specially designed torque balanced construction is fully splice-able and is the ultimate choice for dock lines, anchor lines and fender lines.

Precision-machined from an aluminum alloy that is as strong as steel, but only half the weight.

Easy to manage weight

A soft-to-the-touch polypropylene line is now available for anchor rode and it has some distinct advantages. The SoftLines anchor lines are softer and more pliable than nylon and will release knots more easily. They weigh less and will float, a distinct advantage. Their construction makes splicing more difficult so the manufacturer has added strong, hand-sewn webbing connections that make appropriate-sized eyes for easy use. SoftLine products are available in a variety of colours to match boat schemes and in sizes 3/8, ½ and 5/8-inch diameters. Prices start at $35.00.

Spring commissioning is a great time to take a close look at mooring lines – is an upgrade or replacement in order? After handling mooring lines all last summer, we quickly became fans of softer polypropylene ropes, especially those from Softlines. These are the ultimate in softness in the hand and are super flexible, even in the cold. Like all poly lines, they float and so are less of a danger of fouling props or running gear. We also like how Softlines provide eye-splices through strongly stitched nylon webbing. Tests show the line will fail before the web attachments do.
