LIROS Braid on Braid has been the most popular choice for sheets on cruising yachts for decades and still is... LIROS Braid on Braid EVO can be used for sheets, halyards and control lines, e.g. guys, reefing lines, tack lines, vangs/kickers, down/outhauls, furling lines, runner tails, preventers
LIROS 8mm Braid on Braid EVO has a 16 plait High Tensile Polyester Cover and a 12 plait Heat Set High Tensile Polyester Core, which delivers enhanced performance - reduced stretch and increased tensile strength, which, in turn, delivers correspondingly less stretch for any given load.
The LIROS manufacturing process produces a balanced braid on braid construction with consistency second to none:
LIROS Manufacturing = meticulous attention to exacting standards ~ decades of experience ~ modern factory with state-of-the-art, computer-programmed twisting and braiding machinery

LIROS recommend the optimum line diameter for all your running rigging applications by maximum sail area.
The Jimmy Green Rigging Team suggest that there are additional criteria that you may wish to factor in:
- Consider increasing the diameter to make handling more comfortable
- Check the capacity of all associated fittings, e.g. sheaves, blocks, clutches and winches
- Assess how hard you intend to work the rigging
- Prepare for the rigours of extended cruising
Your sheets, halyards, and control lines should have a diameter large enough for the required load but small enough to be freerunning through your rigging system to avoid disproportionate effort, inefficient delay, and excessive wear and tear.
