Sheet rope EUROBRAID

halyarddouble-braidpolyester core

Eurobraid is a 16-carrier polyester braid rope manufactured by English Braids at its facility in Malvern, Worcestershire. The construction pairs a 12-strand polyester core with a 16-plait polyester cover, heat set at the point of manufacture to reduce extension under load. Extension at 50% breaking load is 5%, making Eurobraid a controlled-performance option for halyards, sheets and running rigging where a cost-effective alternative to standard braid-on-braid construction is the requirement. Specific gravity is 1.38 across both core and cover. The rope is resistant to UV, acid and alkali degradation, with a heat resistance threshold of up to 230°C for both components. Eurobraid is stocked across six colourways (red, green, blue, solid red, solid green and solid blue) in three diameters from 8mm to 12mm on 200m reels, available for immediate dispatch to chandlers, boatyards and riggers.
