Sailboat cordage comprises the set of laid or braided lines used for maneuvering the vessel and other on-board activities.
A sailboat must have a set of lines for raising, adjusting and lowering sails, making gear fast or for mooring the vessel.
This cordage is made from different types of fiber, ever more numerous thanks to ongoing research. Each type has a particular set of properties suitable for a precise use. These include working and breaking load, stretch, resistance to UV rays and chafing, handling comfort and suitability for marlinspike seamanship.
Choice will depend on specific use, whether cruising or racing. The latter requires light, very strong high-tech material, which is also more expensive. Cruising, on the other hand, requires durable cordage, with the option of using slightly larger diameters than strictly necessary.
Sheets should be pliable and comfortable to handle with a relatively high stretch coefficient to maintain flexibility. Halyards and roller reefing/furling lines should stretch only a little. There are several categories of mooring line. The most flexible, double braided line is also the most comfortable to handle.
