Rope handles are great if you want a bit more grip on control lines, or if you want something larger to grab hold of during your next on the water manoeuvre. Rope handles are very simple and quick to make, here are some simple steps to follow.
Set your control line to its slackest setting that you will use whilst sailing. This is so you know how much rope you have for your handle and your furthest out position will be at the knot.
Create a slip knot about 5cm from the cleat that the rope goes through.
Create a loop then fold the free end over and push t through a few centimetres.
Pull the two ropes with arrows tight before creating the next loop.
About 5cm down from the slip knot push the body of the rope just thought the slip knot. (Make sure there is just enough line so you can push the rope through again.)
Make sure to tighten each loop as you go along. 👇
Keep pushing rope though and pulling tight until you have 10 to 15 cm of rope left.
Repeat step 3 until you have 10 to 15cm of rope left.
Pass the free end through the loop and pull tight.
Tie a bowline.
Some control lines may require an extra meter or so of rope depending on if your boat has been set up for rope handles or bowlines.

Great service and a great price. Order delivered in a timely manner.
Would definitely recommend and use again, the next time something on the boat inevitably breaks :)
I had a difficult repair, with a part of the sail that har ripped off. I used the tape to cover a large darn, taped it on both sides, and oversewed it for additional security. Easy to use, decent adhesion, probably no need to oversew.
This is exactly what I wanted. It’s super easy to charge, it’s convenient to store and carry but most importantly, it’s incredibly loud!!
A very reliable cleat Will not accidentally re-cleat.
It’s great- love it for my open water swimming.
Fits everything in.
Super fast delivery and friendly
Sticky back peels off easily and glue seems strong. Quite possibly this is the same product as supplied in the pre-cut kits for the ILCA mast bottom sections?
Makes a lot of sense to use sacrificial strips to slow down wear on the mast and gel coat.
Better value to buy several meters of this one and with care and a sharp blade you can cut desired lengths by wrapping around the mast and cutting neatly.
Replacement laser block arrived very quickly. Part was exactly the same as the original and I was back on the water without missing a weekend. Great service.
Very good quality cover, should protect my granddaughter’s boat for many seasons to come, thanks.
This looks more like a proper hold all.
Great, speedy service and quality product. Thank you
Well thought out kit bag with a large internal compartment and small mesh pockets inside and out. The wet compartment is really useful. Appears to be well made and the strap is comfy over the shoulder. Easily packed in my winter gear plus a few spare tops etc but if you like to carry multiple winter wetsuits or have lots of spares you may want to go for a larger 90l bag.
Great for work at sea and lesuire
