When it comes to looking for new control lines on your boat there is a lot of different options from different manufacturers. For now, we are just going to look at 3 different options from Kingfisher which are our most popular. You can explore our huge range of sailing ropes here.
Available in 3mm, 4mm, 5mm and 6mm diameters.
Evolution Performance is a low stretch polyester core rope that has a hard-wearing 16 plait cover. Performance is one of the most budget friendly and most popular ropes we sell as it can be used on anything from your painter to your sheets. This rope is good for applications on lower performance boats where the loads are not as high and controls are not as regularly adjusted.
This rope is ideal for controls on training boats like Picos, Mirrors, Cadets and Lasers.
Kingfisher Evolution Performance
Available in 4mm and 5mm diameter.
Evolution Breeze is a higher end rope than performance. Its easy splice characteristics and Technora cover allow it to be used on continuous control lines. This rope is also substantially stronger with about 4x the breaking strain of Performance. Its strength and structure comes from the multifilament polypropylene core and Technora cover.
This ropes melange style cover isn't just for appearance it also gives the rope a good abrasion resistance due to the way the fibres are threaded.
This rope is ideal for use in continuous deck controls and control systems.
Available in 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm and 6mm diameters
Evolution Race is the most expensive out of the 3 ropes but this rope is a Dyneema based rope and the 4mm variation is our most popular rope.
The race rope is made up of a Dyneema SK78 12 Strand Core with a hard wearing polyester outer cover, similar to the Evolution Breeze rope. This rope comes in a wide variety of colours as it can be used almost everywhere on your boat from your Mainsheet in 6mm to your Cunningham in 4mm and Halyard in 5mm. The wide range of colours allows you to differentiate between the lines on your boat whilst still having the same great rope.
This rope is ideal for Control Lines, Halyards, Kickers, Backstays and General use.

I recently purchased the Sprint 15 Trampoline Cover from Sailing Chandlery, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. The cover is made from high-quality PVC material that feels durable and built to last, even in harsh weather conditions.
The fit on my Sprint 15 is absolutely perfect—it's snug and secure, ensuring that the trampoline stays protected from rain, sun, and dirt. The attention to detail, like reinforced edges and reliable fastenings, really sets this cover apart.
It’s clear that a lot of thought went into the design, making it both functional and easy to use. The vibrant blue color adds a nice touch and is easy to spot in the boat park.
Shipping was fast, and the customer service from Sailing Chandlery was top-notch. They kept me updated throughout the process and ensured a smooth transaction.
If you're looking for a reliable cover for your Sprint 15, I highly recommend this product. It's a fantastic investment to keep your boat in great shape!
The Topper rope pack arrived shortly after I ordered it. Very good service from Sailing Chandlery. I will fit it when I get home.
The sail numbers were simple to attach
Great value for money and swiftly delivered as always by Sailing Chandlery.
Very good sunglasses, I’ve just had eye surgery and was struggling with peripheral light sensitivity, these are great for that and will be terrific next season sailing.
Great to see these available again, much better quality and sensitivity than the alternatives
We have just purchased the Mersea twin Laser box trailer. Ordering the trailer, and adding the lid afterwards, was easy and straightforward with accurate lead times for its delivery. We paid for delivery to the South Coast and the trailer arrived bang on time along with other items we ordered. Fantastic customer service all round!
The trailer had its first trip this weekend, a 3hr drive on a mixture of town, country and motorway roads and it was a dream to tow - no noise save the odd rattle across potholes, easy to see in the car mirrors and very easy to connect and pull. It's also easy to manoeuvre two by just two people.
Our junior sailor was delighted by capacious box section with two access points and he was able to stow all of his kit to travel and then all covers, bags and kit whilst on the water today.
We're very pleased with the trailer - thank you Sailing Chandlery!
Good quality splicing tool, sensible price and swiftly delivered. Thank you
The mast was delivered the next day what a excellent delivery service I had the mast by 0830 I now know I can count on you, well done.
