SK99:

Ideal for club racing and cruising. Low stretch, 100% polyester rope offers great performance at a lower cost. Brightly coloured cover for easy identification, which runs well through sheaths and blocks and sheaves. Good range of colours for all control lines on-board.

The first dedicated line for continuous loop control lines. Special snake skin pattern means end-to-end, endless loop splicing with no diameter increase is much easier. Technora cover provides grip as well as heat and abrasion resistance. Distinctive colours aid easy identification. Use our wire splicing needle for best results (p47).

Super light with no water uptake. The "Max' process adds strength and removes stretch. SK78 and SK99 have virtually no creep, so Excel D12 Max is a great light weight fibre option for standing rigging, removing weight from the rig. Almost zero creep and elongation at working loads. UV resistant.

Easily spliced with zero creep ideal for lines under high load for extended periods.
