Sea-Dog 3/8 in x 20 ft Double Braid Nylon Dock Line
Sea-Dog 3/8 in x 20 ft Double Braid Nylon Dock Line — Product description
The Sea-Dog double braided nylon dock line gives you a strong, easy-handling tie-up for everyday docking. A 12-inch spliced soft eye drops right over a piling or cleat, and the double braid stays supple in your hands. At 3/8 inch by 20 feet, it's sized for smaller boats and tight slips.
Every boat needs good dock lines, and this Sea-Dog is a solid everyday choice. It's a 3/8 inch double braided nylon line, 20 feet long, finished in blue. Double braid gives you a rope that's strong under load but still soft enough to coil and cleat by hand. None of that stiff, wiry feel you get from cheaper three-strand.
The 12-inch spliced soft eye on one end makes tie-up quick. Drop the eye over a piling or dock cleat, run the bitter end back to your boat, and you're secure. Nylon has natural stretch, so it absorbs the shock of wakes and wind instead of jerking hard against your cleats.
This line carries an 825 pound working load limit and a 3,800 pound breaking strength, so it's well matched to smaller powerboats, runabouts, and pontoons. The nylon is treated to shrug off abrasion, mildew, oil, rot, and UV rays, which means it holds up season after season sitting out in the sun and salt. Comes in a clamshell package.

Frequently asked questions
What size boat is this dock line good for?
The 3/8 inch diameter with an 825 pound working load limit suits smaller powerboats, runabouts, and pontoons. For larger or heavier boats, step up to a thicker line.
How long is the line and does it have an eye?
It's 20 feet long with a 12 inch spliced soft eye on one end, so you can loop it over a piling or cleat and run the other end back to your boat.
Why nylon instead of another material?
Nylon has natural stretch, so it absorbs shock from wakes and wind instead of loading your cleats hard. This line is also treated to resist abrasion, mildew, oil, rot, and UV rays.
What's the difference between the working load limit and breaking strength?
Working load limit, 825 pounds here, is the safe everyday load. Breaking strength, 3,800 pounds, is where the line finally fails. You always rig to the working load limit, not the breaking strength.
