Polyamide vs. Polyester:

Properties Squareline Polyamide Sqaureline Polyester
Stretch characteristics +++ ++
Abrasion resistance +++ +++
UV resistance ++ +++
Chemical resistance - ++
Buoyant - -


Number of mooring lines:

Ideally, a boat is secured with four mooring lines.
The stern line is attached to the stern of the boat to maintain a constant distance between the boat and the mooring. The bow line serves exactly the same purpose. The two springs prevent the boat from drifting forwards and backwards. The springs are particularly important in waters with high and low tides or in waters with strong currents.

Cleaning ropes:
Please note the following when cleaning/washing polyester and Dyneema ropes:

  • Hand wash (SVB recommendation):
    • Place the rope in a large bucket or bathtub and fill with warm water.
    • Clean the rope thoroughly with your hands.
    • Do not use regular washing powder (you can find a possible alternative here).
    • Do not use fabric softener.
    • Then wash the rope with clean water.
  • Washing machine:
    • Only wash rope in a cotton bag.
    • Wash at a maximum of 30 degrees.
    • Do not use regular washing powder (you can find a possible alternative here).
    • Do not use fabric softener.
  • Do not tumble dry the rope.
    • After washing, allow the ropes to drip dry (protected from UV radiation).

The soup has all the ingredients, but it doesn't taste good.
It's a rope with a very pleasant feel and high elasticity, which makes it seem suitable for mooring at first glance. However, it twists a lot when coiled, it's difficult to coil properly, and most annoyingly, it frays very easily and gets caught in fingernails extremely easily. Generally, it's heavy and unwieldy. I have several mooring lines about 15 meters long. I'm not satisfied enough with it to keep it, so I'll try to replace it soon. (Unfortunately, I bought almost 50 meters.)

Is it 8 plait? Can this be connected to chain so it can pass through the chain wheel without problems?

Yes this anchorplait can be spliced onto the chain and works through your windlass
