There are more and more ropes coming onto the market which are suitable for use as control lines on your sailing dinghy.
In this article we are going to look at Evolution Breeze which is the continuous control line option from Kingfisher Ropes. The rope is available in 4mm and 5mm diameters which will take care of the large majority of your control line requirements.
Evolution breeze control line rope has a multi filament polypropylene core and a comes in a melange style with polyester and Technora® cover. The core makes it lightweight and also means that it doesn't absorb water as much as other materials.
The Technora® within the cover means the rope will resist heat when under constant adjustment while you're sailing meaning it will last longer.
The strength in this rope comes from the cover so the rope is ideal for endless splices as the core can be removed to allow the two ends of the rope to be joint.
The melange style of cover has not been added by accident and is not only for appearance the two materials also allow the rope to balance the load on the cover and gives the rope good abrasion resistance.
The average breaking strain of 4mm is 580kgs and the average breaking strain of 5mm is 850kgs, perfect for most dinghies.
We currently have the rope available in four different colours:
This rope has been hugely popular with sailors since we put it onto the shelf with the Yellow/Black being the most popular colour.
If you're wondering how it compares to a rope like Marlow Excel Control, we find it to be a bit smoother through the blocks and it's just as easy to splice.
quick and easy to deal with prompt delivery on order will use again
We ordered a 100m reel of sheet rope for our sailing club's training fleet of Toppers and Fevas. It runs through the blocks very easily and is great to hold. The children on the courses love it!
Great little piece of kit, use it for giving me an idea of wind direction in the marina on my narrowboat!!
Great harness, really comfortable, looks to be good quality and well made.
Great service from Sailing Chandlery.
Delivery was super quick after bank holiday, and product is just as described. Super convenient pockets inside a comfy backpack kitbag so great and practical for walking to/from dinghy parks
Just a small item, a bung! The super quick delivery got me back on the water. Thank you.
Good rope for low load jobs - easy to splice, smooth and flexible.
Perfectly layed out numbers
WIP have really pulled out all the stops on this impact vest to suit all forms of hi-performance watersports. Feels great on, good snug fit - no restrictions to movement and doesn't impact on trapezing like a lot of buoyancy aids. A very well made, high quality vest that has everything you need to keep you safe on the water.
Purchased for my old Albacore sailing dinghy. This is a well made quality cover with straps and clips that look like they’ll last many years. I no longer have to bail out the boat before sailing!
Found the staff at Sailing Chandlery most helpful to a no-yachtsman with flags to fly to cheer the day.
It may seem strange but my husband purchased this item as he was making me some wooden bunting for our outside space. The range of colours was fab and the rope is ideal for our needs.
