For many years Sirius 500 has been the benchmark in European PES (polyester) ropes for cruising.
With relatively high strength and low stretch, and its wide range of applications including halyards and sheets, it's no wonder Sirius 500 is highly acclaimed by sailors everywhere.
The very durable and abrasion-resistant 16-plait cover has excellent holding characteristics on winches and in rope clutches.
Both the covering and the core help carry loads.
A core dependent (core-to-core) splice is recommended to achieve optimized strength.
• Polyester double braid
• 16-plait PES braided cover
• 12-plait PES core
• Low stretch - just 2.3% at 15% of average breaking strength
• Excellent holding characteristics in friction-dependent devices
