Dock lines for your homeport

What kind of rope should you use for the dock lines where you usually keep your boat?

We recommend the best 3 strand nylon dock lines you can find.   This is especially true if you dock your boat in tidal waters. Nylon is very strong and the 3 strand construction allows the rope to stretch as needed as the water level changes.  If  you keep these lines clean and check them for chafing regularly, you will find they serve well and long.  Use chafe guard if you find any areas where the line frays and you'll get even more wear out of them.  Cheap nylon lines are out there and premium nylon lines are out there.  By the best you can find and they will last better and longer, probably costing you less in the long run and possibly saving you from damaging your boat.  Check us out at #mastermarinelines.net and let us know what you think about this article and our site.
