In this video we are having a look at 3 dinghy mainsheet ropes which we recommend here at Sailing Chandlery.
There is a huge choice of ropes available on the market, different materials, specifications and then you've got to try and choose a colour.
This video gives you three mainsheet rope options which can be used on any dinghy.
Evolution sheet rope has a braided HT polyester cover and lightweight braided multi-fillament polypropylene core.
The construction makes this a perfect sheet rope with flexible rope that is lightweight and strong. The rope floats and also doesn't take on water.
This Evolution sheet rope is available in 6mm 7mm 8mm diameters.
Gottifredi Maffioli swiftcord is perfect for ropes which are constantly adjusted as it's soft on the hands with hard wearing capabilities.
The rope is a mix of a single braid Dyneema SK78 rope with a special non slip fibre weaved together into a rope with no core, also known as a hollow braid.
Because the rope is a hollow braid you can feed a dyneema core up inside easily to add a taper or perform various rope tricks.
This rope has been popular with top sailors on high performance dinghies and catamarans for years.
The Gottifredi Maffioli Swiftcord Rope is available in 4mm 5mm 6mm 7mm 8mm diameters.
This dinghy lite sheet rope features a 12 strand PU coated dyneema SK78 blended core along with a 16 plait cover made from dyneema and a special non-slip fibre.
The construction of this rope makes it flexible, strong and easy to taper - add the benefits of the high grip cover and you've got the perfect sheet rope.
The Evolution Dinghy Lite Rope is available in 6mm 7mm 8mm diameters
These ropes are sold by the meter, if you were to order a quantity of 5 you will receive one continuous 5 metre length of this rope.

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
Product exactly what I wanted
