Built for recreational boats, dinghies, and runabouts, the rope offers strong breaking strength while the chain protects the rope from chafe where it meets the anchor. The chain provided is not designed for windlass use; it’s intended to add weight and protect the line’s splice and hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow strong is the 3\/8-inch nylon rope and what loads can it handle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe three-strand nylon construction delivers high tensile strength and good elongation to absorb shock loads from waves and wind.
