Re: M_Boats: Multiplait Anchor Rode

I like the 3 strand best for it's elasticity which serves as a nice shock absorber. I use it for my dock lines as well. And it's the easiest for me to splice. I can do 3-4 eyes in 3 strand in the same time it takes me to do one double braid eye splice.

All I've ever used is 3 strand Nylon (usually New England Ropes). Multiplait is nifty but I'm a little dubious about its abrasion resistance. Jim M-17 "Spirit"
