Polyester stretchers<\/h3>\t\t\t

The stretchers are continues loops of 4 meter double braided polyester. Polyester has great stretch properties and will ensure safe mooring. The main Dyneema mooring line is cow hitched onto the polyester stretcher, the other side of the stretcher goes around the bollard on the shore. As an added benefit you have an easy to replace and inexpensive part to do the dirty work. We finish the stretcher with protective abrasion gear on the highest abrasion areas.<\/p>\n

According to OCIMF regulations the stretcher should always be around 20% stronger than the main mooring line. If something breaks it is better to have the dyneema part breaking since this part doesn\u2019t store \u201cenergy\u201d and \u00a0won\u2019t recoil.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Sacrificial loops<\/h3>\t\t\t

The weakest point for a polyester line is mainly the abrasion. It rarely happens that lines are being overloaded, but the main reason for a line to break or to be replaced is because of damage on the cover. An easy way of increasing the lifespan of your line is by adding a Sacrificial Loop between the bollard and the mooring line.
\nThe scarificial loop has a lightweight and very strong dyneema core, and is protected with a Chafe-Pro tubular sleeve.
\nStandard length would be 2mtr, but any size can be done of course.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>
