Scope is the ratio of the length of the deployed anchor rode to the height of the bow chock above the seabed. The greater the scope the more horizontal the pull on the anchor, and the better it will hold.

To determine how much rope to let out to get a 7:1 scope, you measure the depth of the water, add the boat's freeboard at the bow, and multiply that sum by 7. But, knowing the length won't help you a bit unless you can determine when you have let out that much rope. So, the very first thing to do with your new anchor line is to mark it. You can do this with a marking pen, but short yarns or tapes inserted throughout the strands is more durable and can be identified in the dark by feel.

** Feel free to contact us for chains of different lengths than available online.

NOTE: WHY THIMBLE?

Thimbles are used if you don’t have a windlass, simply attach it with a shackle and use it like a normal line. It gives you the option to disconnect it easily and replace it with a new chain.

Please consult your windlass manual to obtain correct size and type of Rope and Chain.

Product Description

Nylon 8-strand plait rope hand spliced to Stainless Windlass Grade 43 ISO Chain.

8-Strand Plait construction creates a soft rope that is easy on the hands, does not rotate under load. Using premium high-tensile strength fibers, we produce a durable rope through a torsion-balanced construction that prevents hockling and maintains dimensional stability.

This rope is entirely made in the USA and manufactured from 100% high tenacity, marine grade nylon fibers. Synthetic fibers have high strength and elongation properties making this type of rope ideal for shock loading applications. The added benefit of high UV and chemical resistance compared to other synthetic fibers make nylon an excellent marine and general purpose rope.

Features:
Rope Average Tensile Strength: 17,000 lbs
Chain Working Load Limit (WLL): 3,550 lbs
Hand Spliced to Chain
High Strength, Abrasion Resistance and Flexibility
Predictable Elongation
UV and Chemical Resistance
Torsion-Balanced

* Weights are an average and may vary +/- 5%.
** Diameter of rope is measured under load per Cordage Institute specifications, relaxed diameter is approximately 10% larger that stated diameter.
