Yales Nylon Brait is not your average line. Brait is an 8-strand nylon rope created with braid technology that yields a product with a firm strand formation yet full stowage flexibility. Its energy absorption is 75% greater than 3-strand rope and 85% greater than nylon double braid. Brait is easily spliced and delivers 100% of the ropes advertised strength. As an anchor rope it does not tangle in a rope locker (unlike 3-strand that tangles and gets stiff as it ages) with its greater energy absorption you may be able to use of smaller, lighter anchors and anchor lines on your race boat. Ensures trouble-free windlass operation without hockles or kinks.
