This weeks #FridayFocus is looking at Marlow Excel Racing GP78, a new rope in stock here at Sailing Chandlery.
We all know and love the original Marlow Excel Racing rope and have all been using it on our boats for many years, but what's different about the newer GP78 version of this dyneema core rope?
The main difference with the rope is the Technora cover which is improved over the original polyester cover. The new 16 plait Technora cover provides additional benefits including:
This makes Marlow Excel Racing GP78 perfect for ropes which are used frequently and at high pace on your boat. Think kite halyards, high grip lines and high strength lines.
Inside the cover you'll find a Marlow 12 strand dyneema core which will provide excellent strength. This rope can be tapered and spliced if needed, don't forget we also offer a rope splicing service here at Sailing Chandlery.
Currently we have the rope available in 5mm diameter and in the lime colour.

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.
As always prompt order and delivery.
Item described as easy to splice, I'm not to sure on that, was quite difficult and developed into a bit of a tug of war.
in fairness splicing picture guide was not 100% clear.
End eye splice was good

Fab thanks Guys!
