The English Braids Superyacht Dockline Polyester is a marine-rated double-braid mooring line built for larger vessels navigating Irish coastal waters and marinas. Its stretchy nylon core cushions impact loads, while the tough polyester cover resists UV, abrasion and salt. With generous controlled stretch and high break loads, it eases mooring operations and reduces shock to cleats and boat gear—even in tidal Irish seaways. Premium finishes like factory-spliced leather eyes and chafe protection ensure reliability and aesthetic appeal fit for superyacht standards.
