mooring lines?

[aztec]

where can i get cheap mooring lines. i can make up eye splices and all that milarkey, but i'm too tight to pay LIBS prices.

i'm looking at 10mm Dia. for a 26ft boat, bow stern and springs, any ideas.

(if you all start arguing, i'm not coming here again) /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

cheers, steve.

Steve,
A good starting point would be...

which is Jimmy Green's

your other alternative is visit a few chandlers and see what is in the rope box ie end of reel bargains.

Aladin's Cave mail-order do very good prices for decent lengths of 3 strand nylon - I've yet to find anyone cheaper. You can buy it directly from the shop in Bursledon at their mail order prices.

You could do worse than trying the Chandlery Barge at Bursledon on the Hamble.

(If you're nearby of course)
