How is the Hazelett Maintenance Free Elastic Mooring System a New Solution?

Traditional Steel Chain

A conventional mooring system employs a chain or a combination of chain and nylon line to connect the anchor to the buoy.

In storm conditions, the chain straightens out to a rod of steel and nylon line reaches the limit of its stretch.

Hazelett Elastic Rode

The Elastic Rode or Elastic pennant offers a unique solution.

The specially engineered elastic properties absorb the peak loads and maintain a much lower steady pull, which also reduces yawing.

Under extreme loading, such as the impact of a breakaway boat or surge in the water depth, the elastic rode may elongate up to 300%.
