This braid on braid polyester marine rope is the classic sheet for sailing yachts of any size. It's a highly durable, non-kinking, long-lasting rope constructed from 100% high-tenacity polyester (cover and core). As it's made from polyester, the rope will retain its high strength even when wet and has high resistance against UV chemicals.
Polyester rope can also withstand a large amount of friction, making it ideal for mooring lines. It also has an abrasion resistant cover and high breaking load.
