Sea-Dog 3/8 in x 10 ft Double Braid Dock Line Gold/White
Sea-Dog 3/8 in x 10 ft Double Braid Dock Line Gold/White — Product description
This Sea-Dog dock line is 3/8-inch double braided nylon, 10 feet long, in a gold and white weave with a reflective tracer so it catches a flashlight beam at night. It's rated at an 825-pound working load and 3,800-pound breaking strength, with a 12-inch spliced soft eye on one end for quick cleat and piling work.
A dock line is one of those pieces of gear you don't think about until you need it, and then it's the only thing between your boat and the pilings. This Sea-Dog line is 3/8-inch double braided nylon, 10 feet long. That length suits smaller boats and works well as a spring line or a second bow line on mid-size hulls.
Double braid gives you a line that's easy on the hands and stays supple, so it coils clean and feeds through a chock without fighting you. Nylon has natural stretch, which is exactly what you want at the dock. It soaks up the shock of wakes and wind gusts instead of jerking hard on your cleats. The reflective tracer woven into the gold and white finish shows up when you sweep a flashlight across the slip after dark.
One end comes with a 12-inch spliced soft eye, so you can drop it over a piling or cleat in a second. It's rated at an 825-pound working load limit and 3,800-pound breaking strength. Ships in a clamshell package.

Frequently asked questions
What size boat is this dock line for?
It's a 3/8-inch line, 10 feet long. That diameter and length suit smaller boats, and it also works well as a spring line or an extra bow or stern line on mid-size boats.
How strong is it?
It's rated at an 825-pound working load limit and a 3,800-pound breaking strength.
Does it have an eye splice?
Yes. One end has a 12-inch spliced soft eye, so you can loop it over a piling or cleat quickly.
Why nylon for a dock line?
Nylon stretches under load, which lets the line absorb the shock of wakes, wind, and tide instead of jerking hard on your cleats. That stretch is exactly what you want at the dock.
What does the reflective tracer do?
It's woven into the gold and white line and reflects light, so the line is easier to spot at night when you shine a flashlight across the slip.
