Docks & Wave Attenuators
The DockMaster is the perfect choice for marina’s and light weight wave attenuators, ideal for all commercial applications.
One DockMaster Rode provides 6.5kN/1,461lbs of force at 80% stretch. A 12-Rode DockMaster system will provide 78kN or 17,532 lbs! The DockMaster is 30% stronger than our competition, and is the most versatile elastic for commercial applications.
With the Hazelett DockMaster System 1-12 rodes are connected on the bottom side to the shackle which connects to the anchor and on the top side to a shackle which connects to unline, rope or chain depending on design.
The quantity of elastics used varies depending on the project requirements. When paired with a limit line, the ultimate break strength is 300kN/67,443lbs.
Ideal for all commercial marinas and wave attenuators.
Available in up to 12-rode systems and any length.
Hazelett Dock Master System and wave attenuators anchored with chains tensioned at high tide will wander at low tide when the chain becomes slack. When wind and waves build, chain-anchored structures will jerk violently as the chain becomes taut. Peak loads at the windward chain-to-dock connections can cause them to fail.
Docks and wave attenuators anchored with Hazelett Elastic Rodes (or a combination of elastic rodes and chain) 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, reduced point loads, and are easier to walk on in rough weather.

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.
