Description
Kingfisher’s heat set Braid on Braid Polyester is an ideal cruising rope. It is good on the hands and easy to splice. Braid on Braid has a low-stretch braided Polyester core with an abrasion-resistant braided Polyester cover. After braiding, the rope is heat set under load to reduce stretch. It is ideal for sheets, halyards, control lines and many general-purpose applications.
All KINGFISHER ropes are tested to the limit. On the water, in some of the world’s greatest yacht races, and off the water at the factory where KINGFISHER test all ropes to destruction. KINGFISHER always publish minimum spliced breaking loads as the only loads that are achievable by, and relevant to, the user.
