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.

Read MoreI had it sent to my son, who will bring it to the US with him next month, so I cant write a review until I get it!
I needed this small pin urgently for a sail training night, and it arrived in good time
Amazing service, the staff got our order in with no issue and quick delivery. The replica mast are a perfect alternative.
Excellent service. Arrived very quickly. Highly recommend, have used Sailing Chandlery several times - always quick and efficient.
I have the 270 boots 2020, But these 170 boots are great, much easier to get on and off and very grippy and comfortable
Great range of products, very efficient service, item arrived well packed and on time
Really strong, does what it needs to!
Great product, does the job for a good price
Perfect product at good price and fast delivery. Thank you.
Best spring/summer hiking wetsuit.
As per usual the Sailing Chandlery team got these to me in a flash! Amazing service!!!
I have previously used the Superwarm version of this hiker and it was brilliant!
I purchased these as I get far too hot in my winter hikers during the sweaty summer months!
Only used once so far, but were warm enough in 15 degrees C and worked exactly as expected!
Good size handle, comfortable grip. I find I have to go down a size in needle than that advised for the rope I’m splicing.
Fantastic service and reasonable prices
Excellent service product delivered very quickly and exactly the item I required.
These were fine. But what was an issue was the number of emails I received after.
This is my most used item in my sailing bag. Keeps me warm on colder days underneath layers and I also wear it on top in the summer. The fleece lining inside is very comfortable.
