Älva.

We have 75 m of the 14 mm
rope plus 4 meters of stainless steel chain on Älva.
The secret of a good rope
for the windlass is that the rope is heat set. This gives the rope a
firmer structure and the "teeth" of the windlass gets a better grip as
the rope is more compact thanks to the heat treatment. At least this is
what Liros says.
