Double braid rope, also known as Braid on Braid is a rope that is very popular for yacht and cruiser halyards as well as sheets and other applications.
Braid on braid is traditionally made of polyester with a low stretch polyester core and an outer hard wearing rope jacket. The double braid ropes we offer at Sailing Chandlery are heat set, good on your hands and are also easy to splice.
Heat setting means that once the rope has been braided together it is heat set under load to reduce the stretch when the rope is being used on your yacht.
We offer double braid ropes in different diameters which include 6mm, 8mm, 10mm and 12mm. Other larger diameters can also be sourced along with dyneema rope options too.
We offer the traditional white colour with various fleck colours:
We also offer melange options which are a mix of a solid colour and white and give your yacht a more modern feel:
Did you know we also offer a rope splicing service for your yacht ropes?
We can put hard or soft eyes into ropes and also make you up custom systems that will match your exact requirements. Want us to also attach a shackle or other item? Simply get in touch with your requirements and we'll turn your order around quickly.

These are excellent launching trolley wheels. Much better quality than the cheaper 'knock-off' ones on eBay! It took a couple of minutes to take off my old ones and fit these
Recently bought these as a birthday present for my dad. Order arrived super speedy (even with a treat of love hearts in it). The fit and quality is great, he really loved them
Great service
The wheels are exactly what I ordered. Delivery was immediate from the store and they arrived exactly when promised. 100% - job well done!
Excellent fast service from this company. Very good price for the Parka & free shipping. As a Motorhome & dog owner I bought the Parka to use when these activities frequently get cold & wet! I haven't had cause to use it yet. I've tried it on & it's just what I needed. It's a good long length (I'm 5ft 8") & does away with the need for waterproof trousers. Very handy zipped pockets & I like the fact that you can tighten up the wrist cuffs. I'm very pleased with my purchase & would certainly recommend Sailing Chandlery. Thank you.
Good quality product and easy to fit.
Not used yet but known it will be perfect. Excellent customer service from sailing chandlery as usual.
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.
