The Tow Line and the Snubber are made from Litesteel which consists of Dyneema fibers. Litesteel is exceptionally strong, light weight and it floats. Stern bridle legs are made from double braid nylon to provide shock absorption. All splices that contact metal use stainless thimbles. Splices that connect to other splices use nylon chafe guards.
These configurations can be easily altered to fit your needs. Please call with questions, special quotes or to place an order. 865-680-2080. Ask for Wayne.

Disclaimer (Our lawyer says we have to do it): While there are no guarantees about the suitability of this configuration for your particular circumstances, we have carefully attempted to match components to provide a consistent Safe Working Load for each configuration. Our intention is for each of these configurations to perform in coastal, near coastal and inland waters with reasonable water and wind conditions when being towed by vessels running at approximately 10 kts or less. Our objective is to design a system and make Safe Working Load numbers available so that you can decide, based on your intended use, whether these configurations will be suitable for your application.
