Taylor Made 3/8 in. x 15 ft. Double Braided Dock Line
Taylor Made 3/8 in. x 15 ft. Double Braided Dock Line — Product description
This is the Taylor Made 3/8 inch by 15 foot double braided dock line in white. It's built from poly nylon with a spliced eye on one end and a whipped bitter end, so it holds its shape and won't unravel. Rated at 4450 pounds tensile strength, it handles the everyday load of tying up at the dock or slip.
A good dock line does one job and does it quietly. This Taylor Made 3/8 inch line gives you 15 feet of double braided poly nylon, which is enough for most small to mid-size boats tying up in a slip or alongside a fixed dock. The double braid construction stays flexible in your hands and won't get stiff and cranky the way cheaper twisted rope does.
One end comes with a pre-spliced eye, so you can drop it right over a cleat or piling and go. The other end is a whipped bitter end, which means it's wrapped to keep the braid from fraying after you've run it through a chock a few hundred times. It's rated at 4450 pounds tensile strength, and it shrugs off oil, grease, gasoline, mildew, and most of the chemicals that live around a dock.
Buy them in pairs or fours so you've got bow, stern, and spring lines covered. White hides dirt reasonably well and matches just about any boat. Keep a spare in the locker. You'll be glad it's there.

Frequently asked questions
What size boat is this dock line good for?
The 3/8 inch diameter is a common choice for most small to mid-size boats. As a general rule, line diameter scales with boat length, so if you run a heavier boat you may want to step up to a larger diameter.
How is each end finished?
One end has a factory-spliced eye you can loop over a cleat or piling. The other is a whipped bitter end, wrapped so the braid won't unravel over time.
How strong is it?
It's rated at 4450 pounds tensile strength, which covers the everyday loads of tying up in a slip or alongside a dock.
Will it hold up around fuel and dock grime?
Yes. The poly nylon resists oil, grease, gasoline, mildew, and most of the chemicals you'll find around a dock.
How many dock lines do I need?
Most boaters keep at least four on board, a bow line, a stern line, and a pair of spring lines. Buying a matched set keeps all your lines the same color and length.
