Alternative options
For mainsheet and jibsheet - a key thing is what is available at your local marine store. Our preference is Swiftcord, especially for use on a windlass.
- Gottifredi Maffioli Swiftcord - Single braid blend of Dyneema and Cordura. It is lightweight, strong, durable and comfortable to hold in your hands. Initially designed for Olympic class dinghies, these products are the favourite for many crews of all boats.
- Zephyr2 is strong yet gentle on the hands.
- Excel Marstron is an alternative. For a lightweight Main Sheet on a small dinghy Excel Marstron offers a positive feel with comfortable handling. The smooth profile 16 plait braided cover allows smooth running through Blocks, while the low stretch braided core allows fast and responsive Sail trim. Floats and does not absorb water.
Marlow Excel Race - Dyneema core with a 16 plait polyester cover. Ideal for mission critical control lines such as boom vang, however note it is 4 times more costly than Excel Pro.
Marlow 8-plait is pre-stretched polyester, good for dinghy halyards and control lines.
