Silver RopeManufactured from a polyethylene staple extrusion process, silver rope has a distinctive white ‘hairy’ appearance. It does not absorb water and floats. It’s high abrasion resistance and U.V. tolerance ensures longevity in the harsh marine environment. The resilient and economical nature of this rope makes it a favourite for anchoring, mooring, lashing, commercial fishing, tent rope, tie down and as a general purpose line. Ends can be heat welded. 4-12mm is soft-medium lay for easy splicing whilst 14mm and larger is medium lay.

Nylon Three Strand Laid RopePolyamide fibres are used to manufacture this three strand rope which provides its exceptional strength, extension and recovery. Having easily two to three times the strength of silver rope and the ability to repeatedly elongate safely by approximately 20-30%, makes this a most suitable rope for anchoring, mooring or towing. Non floating, U.V. stabilised, resistant to grease and oil, soft grip and good knot holding are just some of nylon’s advantages. Ends can be heat welded to prevent unravelling.

Aquadan RopeAn economical polypropylene three strand rope that floats, does not absorb water, and does not shrink when wet. It is inherently at least twice as strong as comparable silver rope, resistant to rot, mildew and marine growth, making it a very popular commercial fishing, industrial and general purpose rope. Ends can be heat welded.

Double Braid Polyester RopeThe most popular and versatile of all polyester yachting braids. A 16 plait jacket over an 8 plait core provides high strength with excellent resistance to abrasion. The outer sheath has a sheen finish which runs smoothly through blocks and sheaves whilst retaining grip on winches, cleats and jammers. It is manufactured in natural white, three solid colours, as well as natural with coloured traces for identification. High resistance to U.V., minimal stretch properties and good load carrying characteristics make this an ideal rope for sheets, halyards, lazy jacks and reefing/furling systems. Also commonly used as premium quality general purpose tie down rope. Ends can be heat welded.

Double Braid Polyester Rope - Low Stretch

Passat rope is a premium performance low stretch double braid polyester rope with 32 braid outer cover and 8 braid core.

The 32 braid cover gives strong resistance to wear in yacht jammers, self-tailing winch jaws and winch drums. Ideally suited for running rigging applications for both cruising and racing yachts as a strong and durable line with low stretch and easy handling characteristics. Passat rope provides high tensile strength with minimal stretch with excellent abrasion resistance for a long service life. The rope is U.V. stabilised for extended life, spliceable and kink free. Available in a range of fleck and outer case colours.

Dockline RopeThis black double braid rope is an excellent mooring line, supplied in spool length for those needing to cut to size. It is manufactured from a 16 braid polyester cover over an 8 braid core, which gives its high strength and tenacity, with superior resistance to abrasion and having less than 0.5% water absorption characteristic. Its outstanding resistance to U.V. degradation and good load bearing properties makes it the most suitable for those requiring a neat appearance, spliceable and reliable mooring line.

Plaited Polyester V.B. CordVenetian blind cord is a versatile, 16 plait polyester rope that is commonly used for lacing, light halyards on outriggers, sailing dinghies and flag poles. U.V. stabilised for extended life in exposed applications. Ends can be heat sealed.

Plaited Polyester RopeAn economical eight plait jacket strand rope with twisted core and outer jacket of four right hand and four left hand braided strands, which produces a torque balanced cord that minimises twists and kinks. This rope is manufactured from polyester which produces a rope that is relatively strong and retains its strength wet or dry. Used for general purpose lashing and control lines on sailing dinghies. Ends can be heat welded.

Motor Starter CordA white hard lay plaited polyester cord designed specifically for recoil motor starter use. Its characters are minimal stretch, high strength and extreme resistance to abrasion. The extra hard lay gives the cord a stiff set to lay flat in starter recoil mechanism. Ends can be heat welded.

Ski RopeThis polyethylene hollow braid rope floats, is highly visible and has low stretch properties, making it suitable for water skiing, knee boarding and towable inflatables. Available in a choice of various colour combinations of red, yellow, green and white. Ends can be heat welded and easily spliced.

Shock CordThis shock cord consists of multi strand rubber filament core enveloped in a protective 16 braid polyester sheath, resulting in an elastic cord with consistent stretch, strength and recovery which can be repeatedly stretched to double its retracted length. This durable bungee cord is available in white with blue fleck or black. Frequently used as sail ties, return lines, in trapeze systems and for tonneau covers.
