New England Ropes (vs) Custom Cordage

Do you like top quality double braid nylon rope for your dock lines, anchor lines, fender lines and so on. You probably know we only sell American marine rope. You probably know most of what we sell is made by New England ropes or Custom Cordage.  You probably know New England Ropes is more expensive than Custom Cordage.  So what's the difference and why do we sell both? 
 
 
New England Ropes is known the world over and spends tons of research money developing state of the art products.  We want these products to be available to you at low prices and frankly some folks just want a top quality name brand.  New England Ropes is our first choice for this type of product. 
 
 
 
Custom Cordage is the rope I use on my boat.  They, much like Master Marine Lines are a small family owned business that prides itself on selling only the best.  They craft their rope in Maine and the rope they manufacture and sell is every bit as good as New England Ropes.  The price of their products is less because they spend no research money.  They simply make the best money can buy.
 
 
 
Granted, they don't make every specialty product that New England Ropes makes, but if you need dock lines, anchor lines, fender lines, towing lines and you need custom work, they do top notch work in house.

HOW TO TERMINATE THE BITTER END OF YOUR LINE

There was a time when marine line (rope) was made of natural fiber.  Whipping was and still is a perfectly good way to stop the cut end of the rope (the bitter end) from fraying and becoming useless as it unraveled. 
 
 
Today, almost all rope is synthetic and can be heat sealed so that especially for the seasonal boater, whipping is not necessary.  It's an extra step that lends no additional life to the rope.  It simply adds an aesthetic touch to the terminal end of your line.  The truth is the useful strength of your rope will probably be gone in five years or less and the heat seal will be intact. 
 
 
 
So, should you whip the terminal end of your boats line - only if you like the way it looks!!
 
 
 
Should you consider replacing your line in about five year intervals if you use it regularly and it is exposed to UV rays even if it isn't frayed or dirty, probably so.
 
 
 
The above is food for thought.  Boaters, like everyone have different opinions. I can tell you that the five year rule is based on actual tests done on dock lines.  They were high quality American made dock lines.  Give this some thought if you wish and certainly let me know what you think.  Your friends at Master Marine Lines.
