Can anyone tell me what octoplait is, and why (or why not) it's good stuff? I saw the term in Pete Gough's 1730.5, and am guessing it describes a kind of anchor rode I've seen once, which is rope with a sort of chain-like appearance. Am I close? What's up? Ross Faneuf

Octoplait comes in a variety of sizes, it it 8 polyester strands woven
together.
A good cheap , well it is all relative!, is Jimmy Green Marine in Beer
in Devon U.K. They do mail order and I can send more info from mid
July onwards. I go on leave at the end of this week for three weeks, my
annual cruise......
It is advertised for :
Mooring warps
Anchor Warps
It is very strong, has elasticity, is very flexible. I have towed less
fortuntate craft with it. I also use it on my kedge. On CIRCE I had it
bent on ,it splices nicely onto chain, to my main anchor. On MELTEMI I
have enough chain for the areas I cruise in.
