If you are leaving your boat on a mooring for long periods of time, using this chain and warp line prevents chafe and gives you peace of mind that in rough weather your boat wont wear through its mooring line.

What you need
Depending upon the size of your boat and the distance from your cleats to your stemhead, for instance on this 40 foot boat...
6 Meters of chain
8 Meters of 14mm warp
Whipping line

INSTRUCTIONS
1. Splice an eye in the warp large enough to slide over your cleat
2. Splice the warp onto the chain
3. Then splice the warp onto the other end of the chain.

Always when making your own mooring line with chain, make the chain long enough so that it sits on areas where chafe is likely to occur.
