Lewmar 8-Plait Performance Anchor Rode – 1/2" x 200'
Maximize your anchor locker capacity without sacrificing holding strength. Lewmar’s 8-plait construction lets you store up to 30% more line in the same locker space compared to standard 3-strand nylon rode — a meaningful advantage on boats where locker space is at a premium. The tightly braided 8-plait pattern also feeds cleanly through windlass gypsies, making it an excellent choice for powered anchor systems.
Compatible Applications
- Boats with windlass systems requiring all-rope rode (no chain section)
- Compatible with windlass gypsies sized for 1/2" 8-plait line
- Suitable for coastal and nearshore anchoring in moderate conditions
Key Features
- 8-plait construction stores 30% more line than 3-strand rope in the same locker
- Eliminates hockling and kinking for smooth, tangle-free deployment
- Resists stiffening with age — stays flexible season after season
- Feeds cleanly through windlass gypsies, reducing the risk of jamming
- 200 feet of 1/2" diameter line
Parts Desk Insights
This rode is the right choice when you’re running an all-rope setup and want the best windlass performance possible. The 8-plait braid is noticeably more windlass-friendly than 3-strand — it lays flat, feeds evenly, and doesn’t build up the twist that causes 3-strand to jam or hockle over time. It’s particularly well-suited for boats with smaller anchor lockers where fitting a full 200’ of 3-strand would be a tight squeeze. If you prefer a combination rode with a chain leader for added abrasion resistance at the anchor end, see the Lewmar Anchor Rode – 1/2" x 200’ Nylon with Chain.
