The chain section provides long lasting chafe protection on the mooring ring. Nylon will provide excellent stretch and shock absorption. Complete the line with a loop splice option for a quick and easy fixed length mooring bridle or select a whipping finish option for an adjustable length mooring solution. Finally add anti chafe measures and mooring compensators.

Ideal for mooring onto the steel ring on e.g.

  • a piling mooring
  • the top of a mooring buoy

Select a chain and warp combination at least as big as your bower anchor system (does not take account of local variation in conditions and recommendations).

Directions:

  • Secure one end to your main cleat.
  • Pass the other end through the ring and back to the main cleat. 
  • Make sure you position the chain so that it will take the load on the ring in order to save your warp from chafe

LIROS 3 Strand Nylon spliced directly onto either end of a short length of chain is ideal when passing your bridle through a metal ring.
Our custom system allows you to specify the length and finish of your warp.
To estimate the correct diameter, please step 3 or 4 columns to the right of your yacht length/displacement in the MOORING WARP SIZE GUIDE

LIROS 3 Strand Nylon article 00110 - 100% Nylon (Polyamide) manufactured to DIN EN ISO 1140 Standard (previously DIN EN 696, DIN 83330) has the same strength and stretch properties as the 8 strand, Octoplait version, is less expensive but suffers a little from stiffness once used in water, especially in the bigger sizes.
