8 Plait Nylon Line Features:
8 individual braided strands woven together rather than twisted make 8 plait supple when relaxed.
Under load, line tightens to firm lay. As load increases the lay becomes harder.
Relaxed line will not twist, knot or loop over itself. 8 Plait falls limp into lockers, eliminating hockles common to 3 strand.
8 Plait flakes upon itself much like chain, conforming to shape of anchor locker for better economy of space.
Same tensile strength as 3-Strand.
80% less prone to becoming stiff from salt exposure than 3-Strand means line handling improves with age.
Less stretch means line doesn't bury into gypsy grip when overloaded. This minimizes damage to stripper should windlass be abused or overloaded.
8-Plait nylon rope is 1/3 more absorbent than 3-Strand rope. Weight means line falls better into the anchor locker.
Recommendations for Break-in
Recommended to presoak in water (salt or fresh) on first use with windlass.
New, dry line may slip or stick in rope pocket of the gypsy.
Soaking lubricates new nylon line on first use.
8-plait out performs 3-Strand after first few uses
As 8 plait ages and weathers, handling characteristics on windlass continually improve.

Questions & Answers about Lewmar 8 Plait Anchor Rodes:
2011-08-22JOHN K asked: Is it necessary to drop your rode and anchor in its entirety to soak your line before you begin to use the set up>>>?
+Expand Answers
2011-11-11Michael Reardon: Some folks will drag the line section behind boat to shake out memory from coils or back down on the full rode tackle setup once to stretch before they put it to work. But 8 plait in general has the advantage of having little memory and laying nice, randomly as it's stuffed down hawse pipe.
2011-11-11Michael Reardon: If you are using through windlass, pre-soaking line will help prevent sticking or slippage in rope pocket of gypsy upon initial usage. Line performance will continually improve after multiple uses.
