Three strand windlass anchor rodes are designed and constructed differently than throw over anchor rodes. Windlass rode’s are assembled using 3 strand premium nylon rope spliced to G4 high-test calibrated chain. Twisted nylon rope maximizes the rode's shock absorption while reducing wear and tear on your windlass, anchor roller and ground tackle. The rope is coated and heat stabilized for minimum water absorption and fiber-to-fiber abrasion. High-quality nylon fibers reduce hardening of the rope, nearly eliminating all knots and hockles. The G4 hot dipped galvanized chain is calibrated to fit windlasses with ISO short link chainwheels. The combination of premium nylon rope and G4 high-test chain is suitable for all major windlass manufacturers. Please check your windlass manufacturer’s specifications to ensure a proper match.
