Spiroll
Spiroll chafe protection for tamps, mooring ropes and lines. Sometimes an extra protection is needed for the mooring lines that protect against chafing. There are concrete and wooden docks / jetty, mooring on to land / islands (trees, stones, rocks, etc.), sharp details on the boat. Boats are always in motion, moving with waves and wind. There are great forces that strain the lines. High load to the lines which then moves back and forth, wear out the mooring lines. To have a safe mooring makes you sleep much better.
There are several of testimonies there the mooring lines have broken from chafe during a few hours. “It sounds like a gun shot when a mooring rope breaks”. A chafed mooring line can also tell you how the boat owner handles the rest of the boat. And It is easy to protect the mooring ropes. There are several methods. Waterline Design offers a safe and good solution from Spiroll (made in USA).
Good chafe protection should also reduce the noise that sometimes occurs in the mooring cleats. A crackling sound that reproduces in the boat, often destroying a good the night’s sleep. Many people put t-shirts around the mooring lines or pour dish detergent on the lines. It usually works for a few minutes then it is the same annoying sound again. The sound is caused by polyester, all new modern mooring lines have polyester, both expensive and cheap.
Spiroll chafe protection
The Spiroll is designed to be self-rolling. You just roll on the Spiroll to the rope or mooring lines, where needed and when needed. The Spiroll chafe protection is made of polyurethane, which is an industrial rubber. The polyurethane has extremely good values to resist chafing. Spiroll doesn’t not leave any strike marks since it’s made out of solid colour material. Spiroll does also reduce noise from the mooring cleats.
Diane Kerry –
I really like it. It is very easy product to roll on. We chafed our line in a storm last year but now I feel safe. Just waiting for the next storm to come. We also picked up some small Spirolls and a net for the companionway.
George –
Used them on a concrete dock and they saved my mooring lines that night. It was real heavy wind.
Lars Wetterud –
Anyone heard a line bursting in a storm. I have. It’s like a gunshot. We will never more at heavy wind without chafe protection.
Jonas Lilja –
Got engine trouble and was towed in to harbor. The Spiroll saved the towing line.
Mette L –
My new Spiroll will come with me to Greece. There are some “ugly” concrete docks there.
Eric –
Tested last week and it works. No sound from the mooring lines.
Philippe Pouillard –
Easy to install and to remove. Seems to save the moorings web. You must secure them with tape so that they do not slip on the mooring line. There are many other uses. Let’s be creative.
