Allwood Sails use LIROS Magic Pro for tapered halyards, sheets and control lines where low stretch is important. Magic Pro is a double braid. It has a polyester cover and LIROS D-Pro dyneema core. The rope is designed for easy tapering. Leave the cover where you handle the rope and strip it, leaving just the core where you don’t touch it.
Please see the LIROS Rope Catalogue for more information.
Allwood Sails in Sydney sell rope by the metre and at a discount for a 100m spool.
We sell LIROS Magic Pro:
4mm for $4 per metre
5mm for $6 per metre
6mm for $8 per metre
8mm for $14 per metre.
This is obviously not the cheapest rope around. So if you do not intend to taper the rope or otherwise need the low stretch characteristics of the dyneema core, then I suggest you consider whether a cheaper polyester or polypropylene rope will suite your needs.
