I am building an
anchor bridle for a 10MT - 40' mono
hull. I want the chain-end of the
bridle to pass easily through the
anchor roller going up and down. I have a 3-strand nylon line with the middle part wrapped around a thimble and then bound together.
Each bridle leg is 7m (22') long, with a spliced eye each at the
boat side.
The
cleats on the
boat are less than 1m (3') apart.
- Will the binding prevent the 3-strand from slipping back and forth around the thimble?
- Will the binding weaken or otherwise negatively affect the 3-strand?
