What size dock line do I need for my boat?
As a guide, we recommend the following dock line sizes.
Note:
-
Due to splicing requirements, our shortest length in double braid is 1.8m, increasing by 100mm increments there after.
-
Sizes are a guide only and based on a single level, fibreglass, sports cruiser / yacht. If your boat has increased windage due to a flybridge OR of timber / steel construction, we would recommend purchasing the next larger diameter.
-
Consider the size of your boats cleats when selecting your dock line diameter. Dock lines with a diameter larger than necessary may not fit through / around your cleats OR you may need a larger eye spliced into your line to suit your boats cleat size.
-
All custom dock lines come with a 400mm eye splice each end. Our double braid eye splices are finished with a Yale Whiplock to ensure longevity of the splice.
