Running a line or two to shore so you can anchor securely in a great little cove is sometimes a necessity when cruising in Northern latitudes (e.g. the Northwest Passage or Patagonia). It’s also picturesque and cool. A convenient and compact way to carry long lines can be a little hard to come by, though. The Quickline Reel can hold up to 265 feet of flat, polyester webbing, and its rugged, stainless steel construction looks up to the job. It mounts easily on a stern or pulpit rail where it can be quickly deployed.

Quickline flat rope and reel is made of durable polyester thread that is mounted in a stainless steel enclosure. Once deployed, the line stretches as loads increase; this feature allows it to absorb hard sudden surges so your cleats don’t have to. Durable Delrin® reel bearings and Teflon® fairleads ensure smooth, lasting operation. Quickline won’t tangle because it’s mounted on a self-storing, high quality 316L stainless steel reel that dispenses line as needed. Simply let the line play out and crank it in - no fouling of the line. It’s that easy! Quickline is easily mounted to railing hardware or flat surfaces. The reel comes complete with a mounting kit, and a locking handle. Units come in three reel sizes, three line lengths and two widths. Use the chart below to choose the Quickline that is right for you. Another advantage to Quickline flat rope is that vermin cannot climb aboard because they can’t navigate the flat surface - they simply fall off.
