Marlowbraid is probably the most well known and respected line in the Marlow Ropes range.
Marlow have been producing this 100% polyester braided line for decades, and it has become a firm favourite for cruising yachts worldwide.
Marlowbraid is an excellent, relatively low stretch, hard wearing solution for most running rigging applications
e.g sheets, halyards, control lines, guys, reef lines, tack lines, vangs, down/outhauls, furling lines, runner tails and preventers.
