Rope and Chain used in Anchor Rodes

We built your Rode using the highest grade and highest strength products.
It will last many years with just a little help from you.

DO – Watch for slippage during the first few uses. It may until things settle.

DO – wash it in clean cold fresh water now and again to remove salt build up. A little fabric softener is OK.

DO – Try to stay clear of strong chemicals.

DO – not use heat around the rope, that will prematurely harden it, that is bad.

DO – try to long term store you gear dry and in the shade.

DO – keep an eye on the splice zone, that is the real hard work area.

DO – keep an eye open for sharps, those and ropes aren’t often mates.

DO NOT – want to see us again quickly? Then tie the end off to your boat
DO NOT – annoy yachties and watch out for motorbikes.

We recommend end for ending the rope after a few seasons.That extends life and performance.

If something looks nasty it probably is so do something about it now. If you aren’t sure feel free to send us a photo or 2 and we can advise.
