Yale Cordage Nylon Brait 8-Strand Rope

Yale Cordage Nylon Brait is an 8-strand nylon rope created with braid technology that yields a product with a firm strand formation yet full stowage flexibility. Because of its plaited construction, Brait absorbs more energy than all other lines and it does not hockle. As a result, hardware on both deck and dock undergo less wear and tear.

Features:

• Stows in much less space than traditional 3-strand line
• Superior elasticity and energy absorption allow for smaller diameter ropes to be used in anchor line applications
• Ensures trouble-free windlass operation without hockels or kinks
