New England Ropes 3-strand mooring pendants are manufactured from their Premium 3-Strand Nylon line. Each pendant has a factory-spliced heavy duty galvanized thimble on the buoy end and a 12" soft eye on the boat end. Includes choke line and chafe sleeve to enhance abrasion resistance. New England Ropes recommends the use of a swivel placed at the buoy to help eliminate twisting of the rope which can cause hockels or the rope to fall out of lay.
