The New England Ropes Cyclone Mooring Pendant represents the ultimate in storm mooring technology, engineered for maximum boat security in challenging conditions. This 3/4-inch diameter by 8-foot pendant is constructed from premium Endura-12 rope featuring 100% Dyneema SK-75 fiber, delivering exceptional 69,000 lb. breaking strength with ultra-low elongation characteristics.
Superior Construction and Performance:
- Made from Endura-12 rope with 100% Dyneema SK-75 high-performance fiber
- Extremely high tensile strength of 69,000 lbs in 3/4" diameter
- Ultra-low elongation provides minimal stretch under load
- Proprietary tinted vinyl-based coating enhances durability and UV protection
- Coating improves fiber-to-fiber abrasion resistance and allows color coding
- Floats on water surface for easy retrieval and visibility
- Excellent strength-to-size ratio for compact storage
Engineered Mooring System:
Developed through collaboration between Nantucket Moorings, MIT, and New England Ropes, the Cyclone pendant is designed to work in conjunction with traditional nylon mooring pendants. This configuration provides low stretch and superior abrasion resistance at the chock where needed most, while the nylon pendant provides shock absorption in the standing part of the line. By eliminating friction at the chock, the system reduces heat-generated failures and protects mooring hardware from excessive loads.
Applications:
Ideal for boats ranging from runabouts to megayachts requiring reliable storm mooring protection. The Cyclone's combination of high strength, low stretch, and excellent abrasion resistance makes it perfect for permanent moorings in exposed anchorages and harsh marine environments. Easily spliced for custom installations and remains soft and flexible for convenient handling.
