Braided rope

[Tarlach.]

Hi Guys

I’m getting a Lewmar v700 windlass fitted soon so, as the Parker anchor locker is not huge I thought I’d upgrade my anchor rope to 8 plait braid. Any one got a cheapish supplier of this strand of rope that they have used before ??

Thanks

Neil

Yes I saw them this morning, good price. That’s probably why they are out of stock !

I used http://www.ropeloft.co.uk to purchase 200m of Multiplait 12mm more than 6 years ok to use with my windlass, the ropes still in use.

Did you have any jamming problems with the rope when new ? I’ve heard reports of this !

I've used the rope on 3 different windlass, on 2 it was no problem at all, on one, an old Lewmar it often jammed (known for jamming rope).

 

Currently I use it on a Lewmar CPX 1000w and it has never jammed.

How is the rope condition after being used in the windlass, ive been told by another that the windlass' chew the 8 plait because it is so soft ? any truth in this?

Well not my current windlass, not the first I had, I've been using this warp for more than 6 years now it's fine, seems like it will do for many years yet.

Ok thanks Steve, that’s very reassuring . I would hate to go buy £250 worth of rope only for it to be eaten !

Just ordered 150m from here, even with £49 carriage it was still £50 cheaper than others.
Many thanks
