Pre-Spliced and Pre-Packaged Dock Lines
Choose from a selection of premium quality, pre-packaged Double
Braid dock lines (available in white, white/gold, black, hunter, navy, teal,
red and blue) or Three-Strand dock
lines (available in white, black and navy) from New England Ropes.
Each line has a professionally spliced 12" eye with a heat-sealed bitter end.
Available in a variety of diameters from 3/8" to 3/4" and in lengths from 15' to
50'.
What size and how much line do I need?
The size and type of line you use will depend on a number of factors including the size
and weight of your boat. In general, lengths for fore and aft dock lines are usually
two-thirds of the boat length, and spring lines are usually equal to the length of the
boat. The Size Selection Table provides a guideline for selecting the right diameter line.
Anchor
line scope should be 3-5 times the water depth depending on wind and tide.
Three strand nylon line is recommended for mooring pendants. |
