LIROS Matt Plait (Seastar 00162/00172) is designed and manufactured specifically for use as sheets and control lines on cruising yachts and dayboats - proven all-round line for comfortable, non-kinking handling on cruising yachts - N.B. LIROS vary the manufacture of this line to either include their blue and yellow Tracer Yarn, or to make it a plain colour without their tracer yarn - if you are particular about the appearance, please check our stock before ordering
Unfortunately, LIROS can change the appearance of this line from batch to batch, and our Custom Build pictures may not reflect our current stock. The rope may have the LIROS tracer yarn, or it may not.
Some customers prefer the plain colour, but others prefer it with the blue and yellow tracer.
As mentioned above, please check with the Rigging Team before placing your order if it is really important to you.
