Anchorplait / Chain / Anchorplait

Mooring Lines spliced into either end of a short chain length can be a real asset for temporary, overnight or permanent mooring arrangements where it isn't practicable to make the attachment with a shackle.

The Jimmy Green Team name for this arrangement is a Mooring Strop with Chain Centre Section or a Rope/Chain/Rope Bridle. The concept is ideal for securing your boat to a fixed pile or mooring buoy through a metal ring or a strongpoint which is too big to accommodate a shackle.

The chain section provides long-lasting chafe protection on the mooring ring. Nylon or Polyester 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, if required.

Ideal for mooring onto a steel ring 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 and possibly bigger than that, depending on the application. We advise you to consult the MOORING WARP SIZE GUIDE, which covers the different applications and explains how to make your final decision.

The Rope / Chain / Rope Bridle Concept in practice:

  • 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 to save your warp from chafe

The Warp component options are Anchorplait Nylon or Octoplait Polyester:

LIROS Anchorplait® White Nylon Article 01058JG - 100% Nylon (Polyamide) - Facts, Features and Plus Factors

Anchorplait® is a Jimmy Green Marine UK Registered Trademark.

Anchorplait® is manufactured exclusively by LIROS Ropes for Jimmy Green Marine.

Anchorplait® features Easy Splice Markers designed by the Jimmy Green Rigging Team.

The eight-strand construction (two pairs left hand, two pairs right hand) delivers a balanced performance with no twist under tension.

In fact, Anchorplait falls and flakes like a chain.

Anchorplait is the rope that will not cockle - the interlocking opposing pairs resist rotation.

Anchorplait is an excellent choice for a Rope/Chain/Rope Bridle because Anchorplait has superb strength, shock absorbency and handling. 

LIROS Anchorplait Nylon Facts, Features and Plus Factors:

  • LIROS manufacturing excellence and consistency
  • 100% Nylon (Polyamide)
  • UV stabilised
  • Square braid construction
  • Non-kinking
  • Balanced braiding
  • The eight-strand construction (two pairs left hand, two pairs right hand) ensures a balanced performance with no twist under tension
  • Zero possibility of cockling - the interlocking opposing pairs resist rotation
  • Dependable, robust strength
  • Reliable durability
  • Excellent weathering and wear resistance
  • Remains flexible for the duration of its working life
  • Supreme Shock Absorbing Elongation, >20% working load stretch
  • Spliceable to chain
LIROS Anchorplait and Octoplait Nylon Break Load in daN:
10mm 12mm 14mm 16mm 18mm 20mm 24mm
2400daN 3300daN 4400daN 5600daN 7000daN 8140daN 11800daN

LIROS specify their minimum break loads in Dekanewtons (DaN)

Kg force is a more recognisable illustration of strength, so you can convert the LIROS DaN values as follows:

1 Dekanewton = approximately 1.02 kg force

Therefore, the strength for any given diameter will be higher in kg than in daN, e.g. 11800daN = approximately 12036kg.

Plain white LIROS Octoplait Nylon article 01058 with only LIROS tracer yarns is also available.

LIROS Octoplait Polyester Article 01047 and 01049:

The eight-strand construction (two pairs left hand, two pairs right hand) delivers a balanced performance with no twist under tension.

In fact, Octoplait falls and flakes like a chain.

Octoplait will not cockle because the interlocking opposing pairs resist rotation.

LIROS Octoplait Polyester Facts, Features and Plus Factors

  • LIROS manufacturing excellence and consistency
  • 100% Polyester
  • Excellent shock absorption
  • Superlative weathering and UV resistance
  • Excellent wear resistance
  • The 8-strand construction (two pairs left hand, two pairs right hand) ensures a balanced performance with no twist under tension
  • Zero possibility of cockling - the interlocking opposing pairs resist rotation
  • Falls and flakes like a chain
  • Remains flexible and supple for the duration of its working life
  • Super pliable
  • Reliable load capacity and abrasion resilience
  • Excellent ductile shock absorption >15% working load stretch

LIROS specify their minimum break loads in Dekanewtons (DaN)

Kg force is a more recognisable illustration of strength, so you can convert the LIROS DaN values as follows:

1 Dekanewton = approximately 1.02 kg force

e.g. 11600daN = approximately 11832kg
