Here at Sailing Chandlery there is one rope that's our best seller, it's called Evolution Race and is made by Gottifredi Maffioli in Italy.
Also known as Evolution Race 78 this rope has a 12 strand dyneema SK78 core and a hard wearing braided polyester jacket, or outer cover.
This combination means the rope is a superb all rounder that's ideal for halyards, control lines and general purpose applications.
We keep 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm and 6mm diameters of this rope in stock and offer a variety of colours, most recently the new melange colours which have been very popular.
We also sell these ropes in 50m or 100m reels so if you need a longer length do get in touch for a quote.
Here are the reasons why we love Evolution Race rope:
We use this rope all over our boats for various applications from jib sheets to control lines to tapered halyards and tack lines.
To give you an idea of minimum breaking strains here are the stats across the diameters:

Excellent strong lightweight clips ideal for swapping out flags easily
to be used for trapeze lines - hopefully will withstand UV better than other cheaper versions.....
Ordered and it arrived within 2 days.. Superb personalised service. Would highly recommend this website. Thank you.
Super service, dispatched next day and arrived in time... Fantastic service.
These blocks are a nice balance between quality and weight - I needed something light for jib sheet clew blocks as I didn’t want too much weight hanging on the corner, and it needed to run smoothly (and stay running smoothly) - these fit bill nicely. The sheave is also more protected than other blocks where the edges can get chewed up where they hit the mast.
Used the Dyneema to make soft shackles. Spliced easily but was noticeably “tighter” when pulling through the tails than I found for similar 4mm Dyneema. Glad for the set of Fids. However I ordered the black colour and whilst it was easy to mark up white Dyneema for planning the splices I couldn’t see the pen marks I made on the black rope. I suppose I should have thought of this and got a white marker! Overall very happy.
Easy to order and promptly sent. Used the 4mm Dyneema to make soft shackles - my first attempts - found it easy to splice and it has made some useful and strong shackles.
