Jimmy Green Yacht Drogue Warps Facts and Features:

• LIROS Octoplait Nylon, see attributes below
• 80 metres finished length
• Stainless steel thimble spliced into both ends
• Produced in house by the Jimmy Green Rigging Team

The thimble eye splices facilitate a simple but strong connection to the bridle and the Yacht Drogue with a suitably strong certified stainless steel shackle.

Yacht Drogue Warps should be long enough to provide good stretch so that the load builds up gradually on the drogue instead of shock loading.

LIROS Octoplait (squareline) nylon has the required stretch properties and balanced construction.
3 strand rope is not advisable because it may be liable to twist and cockle when under load

As a rule of thumb, your drogue warp should be comparable in strength to your bower anchor rode.

• Spliceable to chain
• Anchorplait is the rope that won't cockle
• High strength and abrasion resistance
• UV stabilised
• Retains flexibility throughout working life
• > 20% working load stretch provides excellent shock absorption

LIROS specify their manufacturer minimum break loads in Deka newtons = DaN
DaN = Deka newtons
1 Deka newton DaN actually = 1.01971621297793 (approximately 1.02) kg

01058 / 01058JG - 1000 =  2600 daN
01058 / 01058JG - 1200 =  3400 daN
01058 / 01058JG - 1400 =  4500 daN
01058 / 01058JG - 1600 =  5900 daN
01058 / 01058JG - 1800 =  7200 daN
01058 / 01058JG - 2000 =  8200 daN
01058 - 2400 = 11800daN

LIROS Break Load converted to Kg from DaN at 1:1.02 =
