Tarlach. Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Hi GuysI’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 ??ThanksNeil Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you have any jamming problems with the rope when new ? I’ve heard reports of this !Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve S Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

Steve S Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 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. Tarlach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok thanks Steve, that’s very reassuring . I would hate to go buy £250 worth of rope only for it to be eaten !Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
