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
These ropes are sold by the meter, if you were to order a quantity of 5 you will receive one continuous 5 metre length of this rope.

First time user. Glad l brought 4. Used smaller one than suggested.
Always fast delivery and a good selection of parts.
A good product efficiently dispatched
The definitive racing watch - my daughter is delighted. Hopefully it will be put to good use in the Uni sailing team. Great service as usual from Sailing Chandlery.
Just the job for mooring warps for my motor canoe. Pleasant to handle and plenty of elasticity. Delivery prompt. Very happy.
Very pleased - strong rowlock at a reasonable price. Prompt delivery.
Quality product. I have used these before, but have learned only recently that replacement O-rings are available. Definitely a bonus!
Delivery was prompt and the goods were well packaged. Very pleased.
Perfect shape for a complicated job and delivery and communications were excellent
The 750ml size is idea for longer outings, particularly in the warmer months. A good quality bottle.
Sturdy well-shaped brim, good stitching. All in all, very good value.
A very robust design with an easy to use valve and attachment ring. It also has a loop to tuck the valve away to stop it snagging on the shroud as it's hoisted which is a nice addition. Overall an excellent float.
Good price, delivered on time.
Great to deal with no problems .
Done quickly
It's sturdy, it's not going to fail like a block. Great for trapeze blocks
