Gp-Braid
GP-12 colour core, covered with high tenacity polyester.
This high-performance rope is designed for sailing applications where ultra-low stretch is required. The high UV rating of the Stealth Fibre core means that the cover can be stripped without fear of a UV-related loss in strength. The compact construction of the core also provides rigidity in clutches and jammers.
