ROPE REVIEW

NYLON - Ropes made of nylon are very strong and have the ability to stretch under loads so they are especially well suited for dock lines, anchor lines and mooring pendants.

POLYESTER - Ropes made of polyester are strong and stretch very little.  They are ideal for running rigging on sailboats for both halyards and sheets.

POLYPROPYLENE - Ropes made of polypropylene are not as strong as nylon or polyester, but is great for light loads and they float. They work as excellent "man overboard ropes", especially in their popular yellow color. 

MASTER MARINE LINES recommends American made ropes which meet the specifications of the Cordage Institute.  American made ropes of this type are the only type we sell.

#WHY DO I NEED A COMPASS ON MY BOAT?

This may seem like a silly question or it may seem like something you never thought of.  Well in any case, here it goes. If you go offshore, a compass is a simple tool that can get you home safely.  Even if that expensive GPS stops working, the compass will point North.  With that info, you should be on your way home.

You might say, I'm a strong swimmer - not if you get knocked out as you fall overboard.  I like to bring everyone back that I took out with me in the same condition they left.  A yellow polypropylene line that can be attached to a retrieval float is a good idea as well.  Yellow is easy to see and polypropylene floats so it can be seen easily.  That's it for today.  Keep everyone safe so they can tell everyone what a good time they had, By the way, we sell the rope.
All the best, John

# NYLON LINE OR POLYESTER LINE

Hi - You may have wondered whether or not nylon or polyester line is better.  Well, they are both great when used for the purposes they are intended.  Nylon is the strongest traditional line.  I recommend double braid nylon because it is a bit stronger than 3 strand and it does not tangle.  Because it stretches, it is ideal for dock lines, anchor lines and mooring pendants.  The stretch is great, because it allows the line to withstand substantial stress loads without worrying about it breaking.  Polyester line is great for sailboat running rigging because it does not stretch easily so your sails stay where you set them until you change the settings.  Again, double braid is the easier and stronger line to use.  So, for sailboat halyards and sheets on your boat, I recommend polyester.

Any questions, get in touch  - john@mastermarinelines.net - (862) 268 1366 - www.mastermarinelines.net

HOW LONG SHOULD MY HALYARDS BE?

Hi - How long should my halyards be - It reminds me of what Abraham Lincoln said when he was asked how long a man's legs should be - He replied - " I think a man's legs should be long enough to reach the ground"  -   If you need new halyards and you have a set of halyards that you are happy with, simply measure the length and diameter and you got it.  We can make a set up for you from premium double braid polyester which has super low stretch characteristics.  If you are missing a halyard, let us know the exact boat you have and we will do the research and let you know what the manufacturer recommends be happy to make up a set. The research is FREE

#WISHIN' SPRING WERE HERE

Hi - I live in North western NJ and we still have snow on the ground and on the tarp on my sailboat.
I just can't wait for the snow to be gone so I can start to get my boat ready for the season.  There's a picture that hangs over my desk, a print that is at least 40 years old actually of a boat that looks strikingly like mine. It doesn't make it any easier to wait, but it brings to mind the years of seasons I have spent in the waters of Tom's river and Barnegatt bay. Soon spring will be here and I'll be back on the water.  I'm like a little kid. I can't wait. 

All the best, John
 

#CHECK YOUR LINES

Hi - John here - There are lots of reasons to check your lines - Lets start with those of you who just bought a boat - Did the boat come with the lines you need to be safe and operational. First, you want to be sure you have the right size lines. If you bought a new boat, it may have come with lines - Do some research to be sure they are the right size and nice quality. If you like, we can help you with this, just email us john@mastermarinelines.net - If  it did not come with lines, email us with info as to where you will be keeping your boat and the size and type of boat it is - I'll be happy to help you with this and there is no charge.  If you bought a used boat with lines and they are five or more years old, they should be replaced because they have half or less than their original strength.  If you don't have lines, email us for help.  If you have frayed lines, be safe, replace them.  Hopefully, this has been some help.  I'm sure I have not answered all your questions - EMAIL ME - Our website has quite a lot of info -Check it out - www.mastermarinelines.net - If you prefer to call, our number is (862) 268 1366 - All the best, John
