Product Description

Lewmar 8-plaited nylon anchor rodes combine G4 chain leaders with premium 8-braided strand nylon rope, eliminating common 3-strand issues like coiling, nesting, twisting, and stiffness. The 8-plait construction relaxes when slack but firms under load with equivalent tensile strength and reduced stretch, preventing deep gypsy burial during overloads. More absorbent for superior locker flaking and 80% less saltwater stiffening, these rodes pay off windlasses like chain. Pre-soaking is essential for initial lubrication to avoid slippage or sticking, with performance improving over time.

Key Features

• Less stretch reduces gypsy/stripper damage during overload
