3-Strand Continuous Filament Polyester
For a Traditional Look with Lower Elongation & High Strength
This is a continuous filament 3-strand polyester rope, manufactured using premium grade, high tenacity fibers.
The result is a longer wearing, flexible, and easy-to-handle rope with a traditional, twisted rope look.
While polyester does have lower elongation than nylon, this line still has a noticeable amount of mechanical stretch under load, due to its 3-strand construction.
Like all polyesters, it is more UV resistant, and has a longer life, than an equivalent nylon line.
Used on classic boats and dinghies for halyards, sheets and control lines; also used as sailmakers' bolt rope.
Pre-positioned and tension-set yarns ensure this line stays supple and flexible throuout its life
Durable and abrasion resistant
Sure gripping surface
