ULTRA 316L Stainless Steel Chain
|
|
|
ULTRA 316L Stainless Steel Chain features:
- Din 766 316L calibrated chain has no burrs that are common to galvanized
products that can cause problems for windlass teeth
- Pays out easily due to its highly polished low friction finish; the above
characteristics facilitate remote control windlass operation
- Weighing anchor is easier because the chain does not stack onto itself in your
anchor locker; it slips off to the sides due to its smooth finish
- Breaking strength is higher than galvanized chain
- The beauty of 316L stainless steel is pleasing to the eye and because of its
smooth finish is much easier to clean than galvanized - mud just slides right off

Nylon Brait Cordage

As a result of its unique construction process, Brait offers several advantages over traditional three-strand rope construction:
- Less storage space is required
- Lower pull-out force on the anchor compared to other types of rope and chain
- Superior performance in power windlasses
- Non-hockling; torque-balanced performance

Storage: Brait takes up much less storage space in anchor lockers than other rope constructions. Brait lies down flatter and lies more quickly into the locker, increasing the efficiency of windlasses. Because Brait requires significantly less storage space than its three-strand counterpart, it is also possible to carry a longer-length anchor rode in the same space.
Pull-out force: Braits superior energy absorption results in less pullout force on the anchor, increasing the holding power of the entire system. This unique characteristic also minimizes destructive shock loading on fittings and deck hardware. As the system comes under load, the catenary of the rode begins to absorb energy. Once the line becomes taut, Brait begins to elongate (stretch), absorbing up to 75% more energy than three-strand nylon line. The combination of the catenary effect and Braits elongation properties acts as a shock absorber.
Windlass performance: Braits eight-strand, plaited construction provides exceptional surface area for a windlass gypsy to grip as the line comes aboard. Brait doesnt rotate on the windlass, so twist isnt introduced as the rope passes through the windlass and down into the rope locker. Because Brait remains supple and lies down quickly in the locker, it doesnt stack up into the windlass causing jams. Brait has become the line of choice by premium windlass manufacturers such as Maxwell and Lewmar.
Non-hockling; torque-balanced performance: The manufacturing process induces a natural twist to each strand of line, creating right-hand or left-hand laid strands. Brait's unique eight-strand construction matches these right-hand and left-hand laid strands with rotating elements in the final braiding process to create a torque-balanced line that does not kink up as it is coiled or as it moves through a windlass. The result is a supple, easily handled line that coils and stows without difficulty, and delivers improved payout characteristics as the anchor is lowered.
