Anchor lines

(3 products)

Anchor lines are an essential part of the anchoring equipment on smaller boats and sailing yachts. In the awn online shop, you'll find high-quality lines in various lengths and strengths – ideal for safe anchoring in all conditions.

  • Advantages of anchor lines and areas of application

    Anchor lines are lighter, more flexible, and take up less space than anchor chains, making them particularly suitable for smaller yachts and as secondary lines on larger boats. They reliably connect the boat to the anchor and allow for easy handling – even when space is limited on board. When purchasing, pay attention to quality to ensure you're well-equipped even in rough seas.

  • Anchor correctly with the right line length

    For safe anchoring, wind, tides, and water depth should be taken into account. The line length should be at least three to seven times the water depth, depending on the weather conditions. In strong winds or rough seas, more line is required to prevent the boat from breaking or swinging uncontrollably.

  • The right diameter for your anchor line

    The diameter of the anchor line depends on the boat's length and weight—the larger the boat, the stronger the line. Small boats up to 6 meters require about 10 mm, while larger yachts weighing up to 10 tons require around 16 mm. Tensile strength is also crucial for safety and durability.

  • Materials and features of high-quality anchor lines

    Modern anchor lines are usually made of three-strand polyester: low-stretch, abrasion-resistant, and durable. A spliced-in stainless steel thimble provides additional stability. Alternatively, lead anchor lines with a lead core or chain anchors offer more weight and thus even better grip on the seabed.
