Rope Work – Bridles & Pendants
Hazelett Marine creates custom rope work based on customer requests and project specifications. Rope length generally depends on boat size. A standard bridle includes rope, 5ft of chafe sleeve, 2 floats, a thimble, and splicing labor. A standard pennant includes rope, chafe sleeve, line floats, a thimble, and splicing labor.

Inspection & Maintenance
The Hazelett elastic system has a 10-year life expectancy and requires minimal maintenance. Docks anchored with Hazelett elastics have uniform loads on the entire structure. Our single point systems reduce point loads and ensure boats stay pointed directly into the wind with a constant, gentle pull. While our mooring system requires minimal maintenance, we recommend the elastics be inspected on a yearly basis and after strong weather events such as hurricanes. Inspections should be conducted regularly by trusted and qualified mooring installers. If desired, we are partnered with quality inspectors who will be happy to travel to project sites to inspect moorings and guarantee the integrity of the mooring system(s).
Installation Support
Hazelett Marine strives to support our clients throughout the installation process. We value our customer relationships and strive to provide the best service possible. Hazelett recommends and can provide a professional, certified and experienced installer to be on-site to conduct or supervise installation. Hazelett installers can provide all necessary information and feedback to ensure a proper installation that will guarantee the structural integrity and reliability of the mooring system(s).

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 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.
