Mooring/docking line for when boating through a lock. Elastic and 20 meters long. Best in test!
Mooring line Göta from PolyRopes is our popular boat ramp Storm in 20 m. Designed to be a perfect mooring line for lockage (Göta Canal). The rope is 3-ply and made of 60% polyester and 40% shock absorbing flex fiber. This makes the entire mooring line elastic, which counteracts rough and unexpected tugs of the boat. Storm has previously won several Best in Test awards.
The mooring/docking line is delivered with a finished eye in one end, sewn with our patended IQ-line seam. The eye is fitted with a wear cover made of 100% durable polyester silk.
What are its advantages?
This mooring line is used for locks (e.g. Göta Canal), as it does not catch on gravel as easily as a braided line. It also does not tear as easily as a braided mooring line. The extra 20 m length means you don’t have to worry about whether the mooring rope will be enough. The orange anti-slip cover also makes it easier to find the right rope on board the boat.
The rope has 5 years UV protection and sinks in water.
The mooring line’s elastic properties means you do not need to invest in additional jerk-/tug-absorbers, metal hooks, shackles, carbine hooks etc. Metal parts and other accessories will in this case act weaknening and should not be used together with Storm.
The Storm mooring line is manufactured in the EU, with much of its fabrication taking place at our factory in Vårgårda, Sweden.
STORM received Best in class when the magazine Praktiskt Båtägande tested permanent docking lines. Mooring/docking line STORM was the only line which passed, and even exceeded, the maximum capacity load. It was also the most cost-effective line of the test, which proves that quality does not always have to be pricy. Praktiskt Båtägande no. 9 2014
The STORM mooring line from PolyRopes scored Best in Test again when Praktiskt Båtägande tested mooring lines 5 years later in the autumn of 2019. PolyRopes’ Storm is the mooring line with the best total score so wins the test. Praktiskt Båtägande no. 9 2019
“Better than advertised” was the review from DagensBåtliv when they tested the STORM mooring line.
PolyRopes’ STORM also came in top place at the Gothenburg, Stockholm and Helsinki boat shows.
