  • Kicker Primary - 4mm Marlow R8
  • Kicker Secondary - 3mm D12 Dyneema

  • Outhaul Primary - 4mm Marlow Excel Racing
  • Outhaul Secondary - 3mm D12 Dyneema

About the Marlow Ropes

Sailing Chandlery have stocked products from Marlow Ropes since the beginning, in fact our business started with an initial rope delivery from Marlow back when we were called Dinghy Rope (re branded to Sailing Chandlery in 2018).

With Marlow you can expect quality and innovative design, all of their ropes are also made in the UK.

6mm Marlow Excel Fusion

Used by many of the British Sailing Team this dyneema core rope is soft on the hands and is lightweight.

Having a 6mm mainsheet means that it moves through the blocks quickly and with little friction, some sailors prefer a larger sheet so you could step up to a 7mm if that's your preference.

6mm Marlow Excel Fusion

4mm Marlow D12 Max 78 Dyneema

Stronger than a normal D12 dyneema because it's been pre stretched and heat treated. This rope is slightly stiffer and comes with minimal creep.

The rope is lightweight and remains that way because it doesn't absorb water. This dyneema also comes with Marlow ArmourCoat which will increase the life of the rope by reducing UV and abrasion fatigue.

4mm Marlow R8

New for 2018 the Marlow R8 rope product uses a dyneema SK78 core with an 8 plait cover made from Technora aramid and polyester.

This rope construction means you get excellent grip when wet and a hardwearing rope with great strength and low stretch. The hardwearing part is perfect for the kicker which has lots of pressure and is constantly adjusted.

4mm Marlow R8

3mm and 4mm D12 Dyneema

A bread and butter product for Marlow and one of their most popular. 3mm and 4mm D12 dyneema are 12 strand dyneema products which is ideal for purchase systems.

The added advantage of this dyneema is that it's easy to splice and work with.

3mm D12 Dyneema

4mm D12 Dyneema

 

4mm Marlow Excel Racing

A great all rounder, Marlow Excel Racing rope has a 12 strand colour matched dyneema core and a hard wearing cover. Ideal for control lines on your Laser which are constantly being adjusted.

Zhik Carbon Hiking Pads

Purchased to replace my old version Zhik hiking pads. These are much better, more stable and fix in the position you want them to. Not cheap, but I am sure will give plenty of good service. Worked really well with some Zhik neoprene shorts on a warm day.

ZHIK MENS MICROFLEECE X SKIFF SUIT

This is my second Microfleece Skiff Suit, the previous one gave nine years good service pretty much every week. Even in the winter I only resort to a thicker Zhik Skiff suit if it is sub 10 degrees. The old one got shredded by a stripped main sheet block split ring. The new suit is of good quality and more refined than the previous one. My only negative comment is the neck aperture is smaller than previous which makes getting your arms in and out a bit of a Houdini job, though I am perfecting the technique!

A well made cover that fits perfectly on my Dart - it has a five year guarantee so it will be interesting to see how it lasts.

25mm webbing strap. 5 m length.

Long enough to tie down a laser. Bright enough to see your boat in a boatyard. Does what it says on the tin.

splicing trial

As always prompt order and delivery.
Item described as easy to splice, I'm not to sure on that, was quite difficult and developed into a bit of a tug of war.
in fairness splicing picture guide was not 100% clear.
End eye splice was good
