WORKS GREAT, LESS FILLING!
You have to carry an anchor and rode, but why take up extra space? Yale's
eight-plait Nylon Brait anchorline is the best thing in the anchor locker
since...well, since a drain hole. Compared to three-strand, Brait takes up
half as much space, absorbs up to 75% more energy (less pull-out force on
deck gear and anchors), and works exceptionally well in windlasses. It just
won't kink or hockle, plus Brait maintains its suppleness and is easy to
splice. Available from knowledgeable Yale Cordage suppliers. Call or write
for a copy of our new white paper on anchoring technology.
