We Never Skimp on Quality

Our Premium Double Braided Nylon Dock Lines have a water-resistant coating to prevent strength loss that occurs in wet conditions.

Higher twisting of yarns and strands produces a denser, rounder rope with higher abrasion resistance that is less likely to snag.

Our rope has been heat stabilized to reduce shrinkage and age hardening.

Controlled manufacturing ensures a line that is well balanced, torque free and won’t unlay under heavy loading.

The LENGTH, SIZE, WEIGHT and TYPE of BOAT and just how expose the docking location is, all need to be considered in choosing a dock line size. The following is a general guide but windy or higher wave locations may require more and heavier lines.

• Transient dock lines used as bow and stern lines should be about 2/3 of the boat’s length
• Spring lines should equal the boat’s length
• Be sure to check the size and location of your boat’s cleats and chocks before selecting a dock line
