Review of the Evolution Race rope which is made by Gottifredi Maffioli, this is one of our most popular sailing ropes at Sailing Chandlery. Evolution race rope has a hard wearing polyester cover with a dyneema sk78 core inside. This rope is available in 2mm through to 6mm diameters. The 4mm and above are perfect for rope work where you'll be able to taper the rope down or add an eye splice.

In this video we look at Kingfisher Evolution Performance rope. Available in 3mm, 4mm, 5mm and 6mm this is an excellent all rounder rope. This dinghy rope is made from polyester and is perfect for sheets, control lines and general purpose applications.

Review of the Kingfisher Dyneema Cruise rope which has an SK78 dyneema core and is a perfect upgrade to your braid on braid or double braid polyester ropes.
