"Every rope on a boat has a name" its an old sailing addage but a very true one. Sheet, cunningham, barba hauler or tweeker there is a rope specifically for the job.

Where there was once once or two high performance fibres there is now a bewildering array of 'next generation' fibres and 'next, next. generation fibres!

Aramids, PBOs Technora, Dynex, Dynex Dux, Ocean 12 rope with the core as the load bearer and the outer as a wear resistant cover with no strength at al and rops with wher ethe core is just there to stop the load bearing outer from loosing shape when gripped with a clutch. There is a lot to consider in rope.

At McDonalds we most styles, brands and tyres of rope seen on medoern racing boats. From dinghy braid to maxi yacht sheet, $5 and metre to $5 an up. Light rop, strong rop, floating rop, sinking rope you name it we have or will gte it in.

We are also masters of the splice - the most perminant and reliable way of terminating your lines. having said that geoff does have the "Ashleys book of knots" with litterally thousands of knots in it so we can show you how to tie it as well if that's your preference. When you have a few spare days come in and have a read - it's facinating!
