Boat Anchor Rode Supplier - Anchor Chains

The boat anchor rode is the line or chain connecting the anchor to the vessel, ensuring secure anchorage. Anchor chains provide weight and durability, reducing drag and improving holding power. Both components work together to stabilize the boat in varying seabed conditions.

Boat Anchor Rode:

- Size: Typically 1/4" to 1" diameter (varies by vessel size)

- Material: Nylon, polyester, or polypropylene (nylon preferred for elasticity)

- Grade: High-tensile strength, abrasion-resistant

- Viscosity: N/A (not applicable for rope)

- Buoyancy: Slightly buoyant (depends on material, polypropylene floats)

- Length: 5:1 to 10:1 scope ratio relative to water depth

Anchor Chains:

- Size: 1/4" to 1" diameter (common for recreational boats: 5/16" to 3/8")

- Material: Galvanized steel, stainless steel, or high-test steel (G4 or G43)

- Grade: BBB, G30, G43, or G70 (higher grades for heavy-duty use)

- Viscosity: N/A (solid metal)

- Buoyancy: Negligible (sinks due to weight)

- Link Type: Studlink or studless (studlink adds strength)

- Length: Typically 20' to 300' (depends on anchoring depth and rode combination)
