In this video we are having a look at 3 dinghy mainsheet ropes which we recommend here at Sailing Chandlery.
There is a huge choice of ropes available on the market, different materials, specifications and then you've got to try and choose a colour.
This video gives you three mainsheet rope options which can be used on any dinghy.
Evolution sheet rope has a braided HT polyester cover and lightweight braided multi-fillament polypropylene core.
The construction makes this a perfect sheet rope with flexible rope that is lightweight and strong. The rope floats and also doesn't take on water.
This Evolution sheet rope is available in 6mm 7mm 8mm diameters.
Gottifredi Maffioli swiftcord is perfect for ropes which are constantly adjusted as it's soft on the hands with hard wearing capabilities.
The rope is a mix of a single braid Dyneema SK78 rope with a special non slip fibre weaved together into a rope with no core, also known as a hollow braid.
Because the rope is a hollow braid you can feed a dyneema core up inside easily to add a taper or perform various rope tricks.
This rope has been popular with top sailors on high performance dinghies and catamarans for years.
The Gottifredi Maffioli Swiftcord Rope is available in 4mm 5mm 6mm 7mm 8mm diameters.
This dinghy lite sheet rope features a 12 strand PU coated dyneema SK78 blended core along with a 16 plait cover made from dyneema and a special non-slip fibre.
The construction of this rope makes it flexible, strong and easy to taper - add the benefits of the high grip cover and you've got the perfect sheet rope.
The Evolution Dinghy Lite Rope is available in 6mm 7mm 8mm diameters

Slides easily through the blocks whilst providing firm grip
Item has brilliant bounce back ability, thanks
Simple to fit and makes launching and recovery simple. Well worth the investment
Quality material and design enables my lug sail to be stowed securely on it's spars
Great wide and grippy tyres for a shingle/sharp launching area and compound for an RS400.
Receive fantastic service couldn’t help any more if they tried. Arranged for me to collect my order at a time that suited even when it was outside of working hours. Much appreciated, thank you sailing Chandlery.
Excellent gloves, perhaps the best I have used. The fingers are long enough to provide protection from sheets/halyards and fit nicely so that ropes cannot get between the glove and finger. If the winter gloves are any guide they should also be very durable.
really happy with these! the thick material means that I will be warm whilst sailing, and the 3 finger coverage allows mobility and warmth on the water. the added grip will really help on the heavy wind reaches, can't wait to test them out this weekend. shipping was really quick, with a sweet included in my order thank you.
As always, great stock, quick delivery, perfect, thank you
The footprint of these is much more than standard trolley wheels so they roll on sand much easier.
These Falker Burgees are essential for our training fleet, giving an instant indication of apparent wind direction.
Made of stainless steel they do not corrode, and are easy to fit into the mast bracket.
It is a shame the sail part is not available as a spare as this part does not last forever, unlike the ss frame.
Nice product.
Arrived quickly and fits very well
Fast, efficient service and the lightweight trolley is perfect for my needs.
We needed to change the size and it looks like they will change the Hikers for a size up. Thank you very much
