New rope range to be launched
07 Nov 2017
Marlow Ropes is to launch a new range at METSTRADE
Marlow Ropes is to launch a new line in its Excel Dinghy range, tested by British and US Sailing teams.
The new Excel R8 range has a Dyneema SK78 core with an eight-plait cover blended from Technora and polyester.
The rope is available in 4mm and 5mm making it suitable as a halyard to work well in cleats. It is also available in 7mm and 8mm where it can be tapered and used as a high-performance sheet operating well in ratchet blocks.
“We are pleased to launch another fantastic product at this year’s METSTRADE show,” said Paul Honess, Marlow’s global leisure marine sales director. “Following rigorous testing by both the British and US sailing teams, we are confident that Marlow’s Excel R8 range will quickly become the first choice for both distributors and end-users.”
Marlow will also show new accessories including durable Dyneema covered shock-cord, a mini-spool counter dispenser and the company’s splicing guide.
