Quick Anchor-Rode Rope and Chain 20' of 10mm Chain, 200' of 5/8' Rope Slim Splice Quick System Rope and chain An anchor-rode is the connection system between anchor and the boat and its sturdiness during mooring is undoubtedly essential. The critical point of the rope and chain combination is the joint, or technically speaking, the splice. In Quick's Slim Splice, the splice is much slimmer and more tapered, preventing the jamming which often occurs on the gypsy, during changeover from rope to chain. Quick's Slim Splice consists of a calibrated chain and a top quality 3-strand polyester rope, to guarantee optimum strength and life.
