Sea-Dog 1/2" x 15' Nylon Dock Line, Navy
Sea-Dog 1/2" x 15' Nylon Dock Line, Navy — Product description
This is Sea-Dog's double braided nylon dock line in 1/2 inch by 15 foot, navy. It's got a 12 inch spliced soft eye on one end for quick loops over a cleat or piling, and the premium nylon shrugs off abrasion, mildew, oil, rot, and UV. A solid everyday tie-up line.
Every boat needs good dock lines, and this Sea-Dog is the kind you rig up and forget about. It's a 1/2 inch double braided nylon line, 15 feet long, in navy. The double braid gives you a line that's easy on the hands and holds a shape without kinking like cheaper twisted rope does.
One end has a 12 inch spliced soft eye. That's the loop you drop over a piling or cleat, and because it's factory spliced you're not fighting a knot every time you tie up. The working end is yours to cleat off however your slip is set up.
Nylon is the right material for a dock line because it stretches a little under load. That stretch soaks up the surge and wave action that would otherwise shock-load your cleats. This one's rated at a 960 pound working load with a 4400 pound breaking strength, so it's got plenty of margin for most trailerable and mid-size boats. And the premium nylon resists abrasion, mildew, oil, rot, and UV, so it won't chalk up and stiffen after a season in the sun.

Frequently asked questions
What size boat is this dock line good for?
The 1/2 inch diameter with a 960 pound working load limit suits most trailerable and mid-size boats. Diameter matters more than length here, and 1/2 inch is a common all-around size. Match line diameter to your cleat and chock size.
Does it come with a loop already spliced in?
Yes. One end has a 12 inch spliced soft eye, so you can drop it right over a piling or cleat. The other end is left free for you to cleat off at your slip.
What's the difference between the 960 pound working load and the 4400 pound breaking strength?
The 4400 pound breaking strength is where the line ultimately fails. The 960 pound working load limit is the safe everyday number with a big safety margin built in. You size dock lines to the working load, not the breaking strength.
Will nylon hold up to sun and salt?
This is premium nylon built to resist abrasion, mildew, oil, rot, and UV rays. It's the standard material for dock lines because it stretches slightly under load to absorb wave and surge shock. A rinse now and then keeps it in good shape.
