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.

I rang to request some advice on replacement parts for my dinghy and was very impressed with the excellent advice and efficient delivery of the required parts. Many thanks
Great product, safely packaged, delivered on time, at a competitive price. One more thing - the person on the end of the phone is an actual person, informative, helpful, knowledgeable and pleasant. What more could you ask for.
The sales team were quick responding to our questions, dispatched to us promptly, and the product is a perfect replacement for our old tiller which ended up at the bottom of a lake!
It was time for me to upgrade to a newer Ilca and it was recommended that I get a Devoti. The price was competitive and the service from Andrew and his team was fantastic. I received lots of communication and the boat was delivered to me within 2 weeks. It is really great that Sailing Chandlery take the time to set up the rigging so that you can get straight on the water. I am very pleased with my new boat and am loving sailing it. Thank you Sailing Chandlery!
Ordered a dyneema RSAero halyard on the Thursday. It arrived by mid day on the Friday and was used on the Saturday. Excellent product and service. Thank you
Cover arrived after three days and is well made and completely covers the boat boom up . The straps and clips all work fine. Good product.
My local chandlery were unable to supply a white inspection hatch and so it was amatter of looking online. Sailing Chandlery had the cover I needed in stock at a good price and delivery. I had never used them before but the service I received was excellent with the delivery on time and the hatch is now fitted.
I will definitely return, especially with the discounts on offer. Thank you Sailing Chandlery!
Always happy with my orders from Sailing Chandlery. They are quick to post and very helpful when I have had a question.
Jason delivered the boat on time at Hayling Island Sailing Club. The boat was new and all the spars were in perfect condition. Jason came to pick up the boat and return the deposit which I gave at the time of the delivery. Every interaction with Andrew and Jason were handled very professionally. I will recommend to any sailor Sailing Chandlery in the future. I really appreciated how easy it was to charter this boat. Thank you very much. Jacques Kerrest
Prompt delivery, with helpful updates and time slot spot on. Perfect new sail at a great price and the number fixing service is well worth it. It even won its first race! Thank you.
I needed GBR letters for the ILCA Europeans and they arrived by the next post.
I made a mistake on my order and it was put right at zero cost to me ! Amazing !
I’ll certainly be back
