100 metre Reel - LIROS 3 Strand Polypropylene

100-metre Reels offer the best price per metre.

LIROS 3-Strand Polypropylene can be supplied on 100-metre reels from 8mm to 20mm diameter.

N.B. These reels may be measured and re-wound from longer lengths in-house by Team Jimmy Green.

LIROS Three-Strand Polypropylene Article 01120 is a pliable, floating alternative to three-strand polyester or nylon with a similar comfortable-handling feel and finish.

LIROS Three Strand LIROS Multifilament Polypropylene, aka LIROS LIROLEN, makes a handy, lightweight, portable floating mooring line with a smooth, sympathetic finish that is nothing like the harsh, splintery, wire-like, blue monofilament variety or the rough and hairy, white staple 'Nelson' version.

'Floatability' can be a real plus factor for long-reach mooring lines, such as rafting out warps to the dock, shorelines from the stern to the land in the Mediterranean or linking lines between buoys or trots so they can be easily captured by a boat hook from on deck.

Please note that a traditional 3-strand spiral lay rope requires a judicious 'roll of the thumb' for each coil as the rope is hanked to prevent kinks and twists.

Jimmy Green 100-metre Reels, Spliced and Finished in-house by the Jimmy Green Rigging Team

The Jimmy Green Rigging Team recommends spliced loops for ease of attachment and to retain the maximum strength of the line - knots have an adverse effect on the strength of any rope.
The Jimmy Green Rigging Team also recommends whipping any unspliced ends to safeguard the integrity of the rope construction and adding anti-chafe webbing to prevent undue wear. Both of these measures will help to prolong the working life of the finished line.

3-STRAND Polypropylene Splicing and Whipping

Webbing Anti-Chafe Measures

Jimmy Green Spliced Length Advisory

The splicing will be carried out on the factory-delivered length (or the measured and cut length from a longer reel).
Therefore, the finished dimensions will be the cut length, LESS the amount of rope required to form the loop and the splice.

Jimmy Green Polypropylene Specification Advisory

LIROS Multifilament Polypropylene is subjected to a thorough UV stabilising process during rope production to enhance resistance to ultraviolet rays.
However, UV-stabilised Multifilament Polypropylene is still more susceptible to deterioration in the sun than Nylon (Polyamide) or Polyester (the most UV-resistant of mooring lines).
Polypropylene has a lower breaking load than polyester or nylon, and it may be prudent to upsize to compensate.
On the upside, LIROS Squareline polypropylene is much lighter than nylon or polyester, making it more manageable and easier to handle, size for size.

Jimmy Green Canvas Bags are ideal for storing long lengths of warp.
