Good source (inexpensive) for Yale Brait cordage?

Post by WayneS »

I need about 450-500 feet of 5/8" Brait, no chain, for two anchor lines. I've been looking for a good source. There was one on EBay, but they bailed out of selling Brait online.

If I pay list price for this, Granny won't get her new wheelchair this year.

Anyone able to help with a good online or other vendor?

Thanks much, and best--

You are better off getting a spool (600 ft.) if you need that much.
Try Defender or Hamilton Marine.

I'm looking for some of this myself and these were the best prices I found retail.

I was thinking the same thing. If the full spool is too much to stow and you really do limit yourself to the 450', the extra 150' shouldn't be difficult to sell.
