Dinghy Line is made from staple polyester to give a soft cotton type feel in the
jacket to enhance handling and feel. It features a soft spun polyester cover over a HT parallel
polyester core for maximum strength, grip and control.
As the name suggests, Dinghy Lite is a lightweight line designed for use
on small craft that do not require the sophistication or costs of exotic fibre sheets or control
lines. A single braid multifilament polypropylene line with 8 plait
construction. Dinghy Lite is the perfect line for low load applications when an easy to use
yet economical line is preferred.
Ski Braid is designed for water skiing and for towing water toys such as rubber
rings. This braid has an 8 plait hollow construction and is made from 100% PE monofilaments. Ski
Braid is easily spliced and floats on water.
Shock Cord is built to withstand the toughest environments. Years of
development have produced a quality engineered durable Shock Cord that will consistently allow better than
100% elongation and recovery making it perfect for marine and industrial applications.
Luff Cord is manufactured to exacting sizes with firmly fine woven jacket for
insertion in sail luff. Polyester yarn minimises stretch with ideal abrasion resistance.
This general purpose braid is of Solid Braid/Spiral Braid configuration which gives
excellent handling, knotting and non kink performance. Sash Cords are available in Cotton, Multifilament
Polypropylene & Polyester fibre constructions.
