Mooring Lines & Other Rope

Mooring Lines are a vital part of any boat's equipment.  Here at Compass Marine we make up our own range of Gleistein ready spliced polyester mooring lines.  These have an eye spliced into one end, making it easy to loop over the dock cleats on arrival at port. Polyester rope is ideal for mooring lines as it has less stretch then nylon and remains soft.
 
Available in 12 sizes of rope -from 4mm up to 36mm, we can cater for vessels up to about 50ft. We can supply larger rope if required.

Our Liros Whipping cord comes either unwaxed or with a wax coating which makes it easy to seal with a lighter

Polypropylene Mooring Ropes

Anti Scuff Sleeves for Mooring Lines

Anti Scuff Sleeves for Mooring LinesOften you find that while tied up your ropes have managed to wear and cause damage to your top sides, especially while moored up for long periods of time.  Compass Marine now offer these excellent heavy-duty Anti-Scuff Sleeves prevent scuffing from ropes and lines against your hull and top sides.

Talamex Mooring Compensators

Talamex Mooring CompensatorsMooring Compensators or Snubbers are fantastic bits of kit that take all the stress out of your mooring lines and deck cleats - thus prolonging the life of both.  Talamex Mooring Compensators are easy to fit, resistant to UV and salt water.

Leaded Anchor Lines

Leaded Anchor LinesThese excellent anchor lines are manufactured from braided polyester rope with a lead core at one end of the rope.  This means that you will not need chain, which can be very heavy and difficult to handle, with your anchor.  The lines are very supple and non kinking and will be far kinder to your top coat than chain can be.  The thimble that is ready spliced in one end makes attaching the line simple.

Storage and handling is made ultra easy by the whole thing coming in a handy storage bag.

Shackles & Thimbles

Shackles & Thimbles
Our British Standard hot dipped galvanised bow shackles are more corrosion resistant. The Hot Dipping process fuses the molten zinc into the steel rather than just having a surface coating. The bow shackles can be used for joining galvanised chain or rope to buoys etc. as well as having many other uses on a boat.

Thimbles give a solid, hard surface for ropes when joining to chain with shackles etc.  Our galvanised thimbles are British Standard Hot Dipped Galvanised so have longer lasting corrosion resistance.

An essential piece of kit for mooring and myriad other things on your boat!
