Lewmar 8-Plait Performance Anchor Rode

The Lewmar 8-Plait Performance Anchor Rode is a rope-and-chain anchor line (anchor rode) for boaters who want an efficient, reliable ground tackle setup. It pairs a plaited nylon rope with a high-test galvanized chain. The chain is spliced to the rope and finished with a shackle, so the anchor connects to the line without extra hardware. The rode is designed to run smoothly over the rope-chain gypsies fitted to Lewmar windlasses.

Key Features:

• Eight-plait nylon rope: the plaited construction helps prevent hockling and kinking. This reduces the risk of jamming in the windlass gypsy.
• Space-saving stowage: the plait rope lets you fit more line in the anchor locker than a standard 3-strand rope rode.
• Stays flexible: the rope resists stiffening with age.
• Hand-sewn whipping: the rope ends are whipped by hand to prevent unraveling.
• G4 high-test chain: the chain is fully welded for strength.
• Corrosion protection: the chain is hot-dip galvanized.
• Spliced rope-to-chain transition: the splice gives a smooth pass through the windlass between rope and chain.
• Shackle included: the rode ships with a shackle for attaching the anchor.

This rode suits cruising and recreational boats that use a windlass. It combines the quiet, shock-absorbing behavior of nylon rope with the chain's abrasion resistance at the anchor end.
