Jimmy Green Polyester Fender Lanyards

All Jimmy Green Fender Lanyards are measured, cut, spliced one end and heat sealed the other end from Top Quality LIROS 3 Strand Polyester by the Jimmy Green Rigging Team.

Jimmy Green fender lanyards are produced to order in house and therefore subject to splicing order lead times.

If you prefer the flexibility of attaching / detaching your fenders and fender ropes, Jimmy Green fender lanyards offer a simple method of fitting spliced ropes to your fenders:

Jimmy Green Advisory:

Apply a whipping or heat shrink/tape to the heat sealed end to protect the integrity of the twisted rope lay.

Cockling (unravelling against the lay of the rope)

Cockling occurs when a 3 strand rope is forced to rotate against the direction of the twisted lay, opening up the strands until they distort into 'ears'

This may seem unlikely, but it can happen with 3 strand fender lanyards where your fenders are subjected to persistent rotation caused by the continual movement between the topsides and the pontoon or adjacent yacht.
Acute and persistent cockling can eventually progess to the unravelling of a perfectly constructed 3 Strand Splice.

Cockling can be avoided by selecting BRAID ON BRAID FENDER LANYARDS

You can sample the cockling effect with a soft piece of small diameter 3 strand rope - Twist it tighter and and the rope construction tightens - Twist it the other way and the strands will soon deform and the rope will go completely out of shape, compromising the performance of the line, with the distinct possibility of failure through rupture.
