Talamex anchor lines
The ready-made anchor line from talamex is made of braided polyester with a lead core in the line. Includes a stainless steel shackle.
The polyester anchor lead line is very suitable as an anchor line because it sinks, is wear-resistant and has enough stretch to absorb the forces during anchoring in, for example, waves. Because the line is equipped with a lead core, the anchor will bite in faster and better, thereby reducing the chance of a dragging anchor. The anchor line is delivered on a small compact rope reel and the color of the rope is white/black.
The length of anchor line you need is determined by the water depth at the location and the prevailing wind force at that moment. On average, one takes approx. 5 times the water depth as the length for the anchor line. In light wind, you can often get by with less line and in heavy weather (wind force 5 and more), the length increases to 7 times the water depth.
The diameter of the line is determined by the boat length and the weight of the ship.
