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.
The Zihk Sailing kit bag is very well-made and much more practical than my rucksack. The ordering process was slick and the delivery was fast. I’m looking forward to my next sailing trip with this product. Good price too, thank you!

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
