To have a name steeped in history and recognised around the world for quality, performance and innovation is often an unattainable dream for many businesses. But for Marlow Ropes, this is reality.

However, at Marlow we do not sit back and glory in our history because with this recognition and reputation also comes responsibility. A responsibility to the future and to achieve our goals…

• To maintain the high quality standards expected from a British manufacturer with ISO 9001:2000 accreditation.

• To constantly review and improve our service levels to boat builders, chandlers and racing teams alike, so that this can be passed on to the end user.

• To push the design envelope to ensure that our performance partners are competing with the latest and best technology around, keeping

them at the top of their game.• To filter new technologies and designs down to everyday ropes so that our customers are confident they are selling and specifying the best ropes available.• To promote our brand to end users across the world to ensure that our customers can benefit from our marketing activities within their own businesses.

• To provide a challenging and supportive team environment for our employees allowing them to grow and develop.• To ensure that the sailor on the water is confident that the ropes they are using are the very best for the job.

This catalogue details our standard chandlery and boatbuilding range and the benefits to be gained from each product. We’ve tried to include all the information you will need, but do not hesitate to get in touch if you need more information – you’ll find our contact details on the back cover.

Marlow also offers the ultimate in tailor-made technical performance ropes with our new Grand Prix Series.

The Grand Prix Series is a range of technical covers and cores that can be specified in any combination at any length and in any colour. Each core or cover has been designed for a specific on board application and tested to within an inch of its life by the best sailors in the world.

To find out more ask for a copy of Marlow’s Grand Prix Series catalogue or visit www.marlowropes.com/grandprixseries.
