Recommended length and diameter:
- Diameter: boat length (in meters) + 4. Example: 6 m boat → recommended diameter: 10 mm
- Length: Allow mooring lines measuring 2 to 3 times the boat length to maintain flexibility and properly absorb loads.

Choosing your mooring lines:
Which material?
- Polyamide (nylon) is the most suitable fiber for mooring. Highly elastic and resistant to abrasion, it effectively absorbs shocks caused by the boat’s movements. However, its UV resistance is slightly lower than polyester.
- Polyester is a durable alternative, known for its excellent resistance to UV and abrasion. Its lower elongation makes it less effective at absorbing shocks, but more suitable for stable mooring lines.
- Polyethylene, thanks to its floating properties, is useful for specific uses: buoy pick-up lines, temporary mooring, or areas with propeller risk.
Twisted or braided mooring line?
- Twisted (3-strand): stiffer, appreciated for its ease of splicing, ideal for making loops or custom mooring lines.
- Braided: more flexible and comfortable to handle, offering better comfort when maneuvers are frequent.

Three-strand or braided mooring line?
- Three-strand: more rigid, it is mainly appreciated for its ease of splicing, ideal for making loops or custom mooring lines.
- Braided: more flexible and comfortable to handle, it offers better comfort when maneuvers are frequent.
