MADE IN USA – STRONGEST & MOST VERSATILE  – 3rd PARTY TESTED

According to tests monitored by SouthWest Ocean Services (SWOS), one single 8000 series Hazelett Marine Engineered Elastomer can withstand a force of drag greater than 13kN, elongate over 200% of its length and retract back to original length.

Peak Load Reductions

Securing vessels and docks with Hazelett Elastic Rodes reduces peak loads at connection points (from docks to anchors and from deck cleats to anchors) by approximately 50%.

More Gentle Dock Motion

Docks and wave attenuators anchored with Hazelett Elastic Rodes are tensioned at low tide, so they stay put at low tide. As the tide rises, the elastics stretch. Docks and wave attenuators secured with Hazelett Elastic Rodes have a more gentle motion and are easier and safer to walk on in rough weather.

Increased Mooring Density

Hazelett Elastic Mooring Systems can be set up with as little as one-to-one scope at high water. 40% more boats can be moored in the same square footage compared to boats on chain with three-to-one scope.

Testimonials

“Marshall Marine’s three docks were constructed with a piling support system customary to this area (South Dartmouth, MA), however, ongoing maintenance costs and service disruptions were causing us problems.

Steve Gomes came up with a cost-saving solution using a Hazelett anchoring system instead of replacing expensive pilings sheared by ice flow that were in otherwise good condition. We proceeded cautiously, installing just one dock system at first, but after two years of zero breakage or maintenance, all of our docks are now secured with the Elastic Mooring systems.”

Billy Pires, Marshall Marine Services

“I’m moored in Groton CT and when Irene came through I went down to look at how everyone that was still in the mooring field was doing (I hauled out for the storm).

We had one boat on a Helix/Hazelett combination and although the wind wasn’t too bad the waves were high, short and steep. The thing I noticed was when this boat hit the end of its travel with a wave there was no whipping motion from the roller furler foil on the head stay. The other boats around it had a distinct whipping motion as they came tight on their chains. So the elastic rode was doing its job and the helix is about 12 feet into the bottom so dragging isn’t an issue.

Not a cheap solution but a lot of peace of mind.”

Boat Owner

“Thanks a million for saving my boat! The people on shore during George’s attack agreed that the Hazelett mooring pennant held Gaviota while other smaller and lighter boats dragged the moorings (and anchors) until they hit the rocks and the fuel docks, where they were destroyed. One 40′ boat moored to a block 1m3 and two screws beached in the mangroves.

This is a remarkable test when you consider that Gaviota is heavy (54,000lb) and 14′ beam, and that the winds were at least 110mph. But the real stress came from the surge and waves. They tell me that the boats were pitching 30 degrees or more.”

Fritz

“As a commercial spear fisherman, I need to know that my boat will remain on its mooring through a nasty blow and be ready for a day’s work. Since I’ve been using your rode, my anchorage has been hit by several fronts blowing in excess of 40 knots for four days straight, and one that came through at over 60 knots.

While many boats were dragging their moorings, chaffing through pennant lines, and yawing about, my 45-footer rode out the storms easily, with no problems. I noticed that there is less strain on my mooring, lines, and boat since I purchased your rode, and I would recommend it to anyone, especially liveaboards.”

Lee Starling, Commercial Fisherman, Key West, FL

“Hazelett Marine was easy to work with, delivery was fast and product was cheaper than competitive products. While our dock was inland, it survived Hurricane Florence because of Hazelett elastic mooring systems. We will definitely use them on our next project.”

Steven Bailey, NC Wildlife Resources Commission

“I spent a few days at the factory training installations and can tell ya, they are Wicked Good! and Worth Springing the Bucks for!

Get the Best. Get Hazelett.”

The Hazelett Elastic Mooring Rode offers a better solution. Because of its engineered ELASTICITY, it stretches out smoothly under the load of wind and sea, thereby eliminating the peak forces of a rigid chain rode. The Hazelett rode provides a new Home Arabian dimension in mooring systems – the dimension of elasticity. During storm conditions, this new dimension also protects against the effects of the sudden increases in water depth caused by storm surges or the impact of a break-away boat.

The elasticity within the mooring set-up eliminated entirely the ‘snatch’ associated with chain moorings during heavy weather and helps the boat to maintain a very stable position over the mooring in rough conditions. The Hazelett system eliminates virtually all moving parts, so reducing wear on the majority of components.

Hazelett rodes maintain elasticity to absorb forces from strong winds and tides and preserves the integrity of the mooring system under severe storm conditions.
