Find the right rope lengths and diameters for your dinghy, class by class. Whether you are re-roping a club Topper, refreshing the sheets on your ILCA or setting up a new RS200 for the season, each class page lists the sheets, halyards and control ropes you need, with the length and diameter for each, so you can order the right rope first time.
Sail a catamaran? Head to our catamaran rope lengths for the Dart, Hurricane, Nacra, Shearwater and Tornado.
Each class page links straight to the recommended rope for every job on the boat. Our rope is sold by the metre and supplied as one continuous length, so just set the quantity to the length you need. Order 5 and you receive one continuous 5 metre length, not five separate pieces.
Ordering several ropes in the same diameter? Order each one as a separate line item so they arrive as separate lengths, ready to rig.
We can splice loops, soft shackles and endless control ropes, or copy an existing rope if you send it to us. For ILCA sailors we also offer ready-made spliced kicker, downhaul and outhaul systems. Get in touch at info@sailingchandlery.com or call 01268 222912 for a quote.
Start with your class page above, which lists the length and diameter for each sheet, halyard and control rope. If your boat has a non-standard setup, measure your old rope end to end and add a little extra for knots. If you are still unsure, email us your class and setup and we will help.
Yes. Rope sold by the metre is supplied as one continuous length, so the quantity you order is the length you receive. Order 12 and you get a single 12 metre length. If you need two ropes in the same diameter, add them as separate line items.
As a guide, control ropes are usually 3 to 5mm, halyards 4 to 6mm and mainsheets 7 to 10mm, depending on the size of the boat and the purchase. Smaller single-handers often run 7 or 8mm mainsheets. Your class page gives the recommended diameter for each rope.
Yes, we offer a splicing service for loops, soft shackles, endless control ropes and halyards. If you have an old rope you want copied, send it to us with any notes, or email us the lengths and a quick sketch and we will quote you.
Of course. Email us at info@sailingchandlery.com with your class and the ropes you want to replace, and we will recommend lengths, diameters and the right rope for each job. We add new classes regularly, so tell us which one you sail.
