The Mooring Lines for your Boat are Very Important - They Protect and Hold your Precious Investment - Therefore your choice of the Correct Mooring Line is worth getting right

 
 

Soft Eye &

 

  

Sailmaker's whipping

To Australian Standard AS 4142.1

Our Mooring Lines are made up from Quality Black 3 strand Polyester rope

With a 500mm (stretched length) soft eye in one end and a professional quality sailmakers whipping to finish the free end

Lengths are finished line lengths (not length of rope used)

As actual measured diameters tend to be smaller, Lines should always be purchased based on Strength (Breaking Strain).

The smaller diameters result in less space usage on cleats and bollards and better, neater belaying.

Why Do We Prefer Polyester?

Polyester is one of the Highest Strength for diameter, and Lowest stretch synthetic fibre ropes

Polyester Has one of the longest lifespans in exposure to Ultraviolet Light

Polyester stands up well to repeated stress

Polyester has high resistance to internal wear and is reported to have the longest service life of any fibre rope

These are all qualities needed in Mooring Lines for your boat

 

How Heavy Do Your Lines Need To Be?

Line strength rating for mooring lines is not only related to the length or the weight of a boat, but is calculated with a formula using the length, weight and importantly the height and profile area for windage.

The SOLAS Regulations contain these formulas for large ships, and we have adapted the ratings to accomodate smaller (under 70 feet) vessels

The line rating information supplied here is intended as a guide only and cannot replace expert advice on your particular vessel

What is apparent from the chart is the relevance of windage as a major factor in mooring line selection

An Important Consideration is The Size of your Cleats or Bollards

If you choose lines too large a diameter you may not end up with a secure belay and you may not be able to use enough, or, extra lines. - Bigger is not always better!!

10 Kilo Newtons = 1 tonne

When choosing line length remember that 1.5 to 2 metres is needed for belaying to a cleat or bollard

Many line breakages are caused by incorrect mooring line set up - to find out how to avoid a common problem see our Mooring Line Set Up Advice page
