arlows Grand Prix Series offers the ultimate in tailor-made performance for running rigging. With hundreds of combinationsperformance cores and covers, plus pioneering weight saving technology and the opportunity to specify ropes to exact
olourand length requirements, Marlows Grand Prix Series continues to take running rigging for racing and Superyachtsthe next level.
ressure for success on board a race yacht can be intense and margins between winning and losing can be very slim. Specifyinge worlds premium range of grand prix running rigging will ensure the odds of success are stacked in your favour.
he Grand Prix Series has been developed and continuously improved through Marlows long experience with high performancecing yachts and feedback from our Grand Prix riggers around the world. This brochure lists some of the more popular products,
owever the range allows for a totally customised solution to suit the requirements of any application however small.
pecifying a rope is easy; rst select the core that matches your requirements. Second select the cover to give the propertiesquired. Lastly select one of many custom nishes.

Marlow DriCoat is not just a simple exterior
coating, but rather a unique and extremely
effective rope impregnation formula.
Ropes become wet very easily on board high
performance racing yachts; breaking waves
and spray, a sudden downpour and very cold
conditions all cause water uptake in ropes.
A wet rope can be up to 50% heavier than a dry
one - with the quantity of rope on-board racing
serts within th e core before the cover is overbraided.
serts not only increase diameter but help maintain shape
f the rope to improve clutch and jammer performance.
Cores can be tapered before the cover is
overbraided. Core tapering decreases core weight
and improves exbility of the rope on li ght tails.
Glow in the dark markers can be added to the cover
for the entire length or a section to improve line
visibility and recognition at night.
right hoist markers can be inserted into the cover in the
ame material blends to maintain cover stability.
yachts, that additional weight can soon
add up. DriCoat is designed t o provide
long lasting protection against water
absorption and therefore unnecessary
on-board weight.
In addition DriCoat signicantly improvesboth internal and external abrasion and
the effects of freezing and ice damage,
thereby allowing the ropes to perform
better for longer!
