This week we take a look at a product which can be used in a number of different ways, it's not one of our most popular ropes but we're sure you'll love it.
Evolution Splice is made by Kingfisher Yacht Ropes and is a 12 strand single braid polyester rope. As a 12 strand hollow braid rope it has many applications, the application we use it most for is halyard tails.
Many sailing dinghies have a wire halyard which is secured to the mast to keep the sail up, before you get to that point you might have a 3 strand rope attached. Rope against wire doesn't end well and we're sure you would have had to replace the rope tail on your halyard a few times.
Evolution Splice rope is easy to splice (clues in the name) and is strong enough to act as your next rope halyard tail. You can quickly create a dyneema locking splice and taper the end in, we personally find this quicker than a 3 strand splice.
The rope is available in:
As well as tails this rope can also be used for general lashes and control lines. Average breaking strains vary from 350kg to 760kg.
on time and on spec
easy to find what one is looking for
highly recommended
This was my first Zhik purchase having spent some time looking for a low cut boot for the summer and having used them a few times now, I'm really pleased with the boots. They offer great grip in the boat and on the slipway, are comfy to wear and provide good protection. As the guidance says, these come up small, so make sure you follow the guidance to measure and don't be surprised if the size you are ordering is one or two sizes bigger than your normal. I'm normally 8.5-9 and measured at a 10 so that's what I ordered and they are a snug fit. I'd need an 11 if wearing socks.
This spray lube really does the job. I've been warned that you need to make sure you don't spray where you are going to sit or tread as it's so slippery!
Excellent product excellent communication excellent seller
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.
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!
arrived neatly in a jiffy, thanks
These are simple are installed on my boat and worked last time I sailed.
arrived very quickly along with the new main sheet i ordered, the colours are spot on and match the colour of the main sheet i ordered, spent ages yesterday re roping my dzero and i have to say it looks incredible with the blue and black rope
arrived very quickly and the colour is spot on, exactly what i was looking for
I love this rope for trapeze adjusters, it grips into a Clamcleat really well.
Hard wearing and low stretch, perfect for kite bridal poles on my catamaran. Delivered quickly.
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.
Long enough to tie down a laser. Bright enough to see your boat in a boatyard. Does what it says on the tin.
Watch once set your very easy to operate. Arrived well packaged and on time.
