Polyester 3-Strand Twisted Rope, Black 6–30 mm (Good Quality Sinking Line)

The black polyester twisted rope (3-strand) combines strength and durability with a sleek appearance favored by many boat owners. Thanks to UV inhibitors in the black pigment, the rope boasts enhanced UV resistance – the black color absorbs UV rays and shields the fibers from rapid degradation. The material (100% polyester) ensures the rope resists abrasion and tension while retaining flexibility over time. This rope is sinking, meaning it will not float on the water’s surface – a key advantage for anchoring and mooring, where you want lines to stay submerged and clear of propellers or surface movement. The black twisted rope also doesn’t show dirt easily and gives a clean, professional look on deck. Its twisted construction makes it easy to splice and knot, while not being overly elastic (“bouncy”), providing good control when docking.

With this rope you can confidently outfit your vessel for mooring lines and anchor rodes. The range of diameters allows use from small craft up to mid-sized yachts. For example, 6–8 mm black rope suits dinghies and small inflatables, whereas 12–16 mm can serve as primary dock lines on boats ~7–10 m. Thicker sizes (18–30 mm) can handle the heavy loads required for larger yachts or rougher conditions. Black polyester stands up to saltwater and won’t rot or mildew, ensuring long service life with minimal maintenance.
