This 200-foot performance anchor rode packs 30% more line into the same locker space as an equivalent 3-strand rode, feeds through windlass gypsies without kinking or jamming, and maintains its flexibility and handling characteristics over years of saltwater use. Includes a shackle for direct anchor attachment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8-plait construction\u003c\/strong\u003e — stores 30% more line in the anchor locker compared to standard 3-strand rope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKink and kockle-free\u003c\/strong\u003e — eliminates the twisting and tangling that causes windlass jams and gypsy damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWindlass-friendly feed\u003c\/strong\u003e — smooth, consistent lay reduces the risk of jamming in the gypsy under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge-resistant flexibility\u003c\/strong\u003e — resists stiffening over time, unlike 3-strand nylon which hardens with UV and salt exposure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1\/2\" diameter x 200' length\u003c\/strong\u003e — suitable for vessels in the 30–45 ft range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes shackle\u003c\/strong\u003e — ready to connect directly to your anchor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBest Use Case\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ideal choice for boaters with compact anchor lockers, high-cycle windlass use, or anyone who has experienced kinking and jamming issues with 3-strand rode. The 200' length supports anchoring in depths up to 33 feet at a 6:1 scope ratio, making it well-suited for coastal cruising, overnight anchoring, and areas with tidal variation.

It is not a low-stretch rope — do not confuse it with polyester braid, which is low-stretch and not recommended for anchoring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe included shackle should be moused (secured with seizing wire or a cable tie through the pin) to prevent it from unscrewing under load or vibration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspect the shackle and the first 10–15 feet of rope annually — this section takes the most abrasion from the anchor and seabed contact.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"LNS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51210828382244,"sku":"239-HM10HT200PX","price":996.11,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/fcfd6ee5-6d34-44e6-956a-8849037ac638.png?v=1786389431","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/half-inch-200ft-8-plait-performance-anchor-rode-with-shackle","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
