Small Boat Strop

A quick ergonomic attachment to the buoy makes the whole mooring process much easier for Small Boats and RIBS.

Our set length Small Boat Strop has a choice of 14mm or 16mm LIROS Octoplait Nylon produced by the Jimmy Green Rigging Team to this specification: 

• Kong Carabiner - AISI 316 marine grade stainless steel - knurled locking screw mechanism for security - manufacturer break load rating 2800kg
• Soft eye splice
• LIROS Octoplait White Nylon - Article 01058 - LIROS MBL: 14mm 4400kg, 16mm 5600kg
• One metre tubular polyester anti-chafe webbing reeved on for added protection against wear and tear (Please Note: 75cm of anti-chafe webbing on 16mm rope)
• Long loop splice for cow-hitching to the eye or U-bolt on the bow

LIROS Anchorplait and Octoplait Nylon Break Load in daN:  14mm 4400daN - 16mm 5600daN 

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.
