The double braided nylon construction provides superior strength to most other three-strand nylon ropes and is also easier to handle.</p> <p>Selecting the Right Anchor Line</p> <p>One of the most popular rules of thumb when selecting an anchor line size is to have 1/8" of anchor line diameter for every 9' of boat. In other words, 3/8" anchor line would be suitable for most boats up to 27'. Appropriate sizing may vary depending on boat type, anchoring conditions, and other factors.</p> <p>Sizing Table and Breaking Strengths:<br> 3/8" diameter rope: 4000 lbs; for boats up to 27'<br> 1/2" diameter rope: 5200 lbs; for boats up to 36'<br> 5/8" diameter rope: 9000 lbs; for boats up to 45'<br>3/4" diameter rope: 11200 lbs; for boats up to 54'</p>
