Lewmar USA Premium 8-Plaited Nylon Anchor Rope

• 8-Plaited nylon rope eliminates some of the service problems associated with the 3-strand ropes. 8-Plait uses 8-individual braided strands woven together that allow the rope to be relaxed. But, when under load, it tightens up to a firm lay. The higher the load the harder the lay becomes.
• 8-Plait carries the same tensile strength as 3-Strand.
• 8-Plait does not coil or create a "birds nest" in the locker like 3-Strand will. 8-Plait flakes and falls upon itself.
• 8-Plait will not twist and knot up.
• 8-Plait will not loop over onto itself.
