MLX double-braid cordage features a blended high-modulus Innegra-S and Dyneema core for strength and a polyester cover for durability. The result is a lightweight affordable rope with high strength and low stretch that can be used aboard both club racers and performance cruisers. Diameters range from 3/16in to 1/2in (the latter has a 15,000lb breaking strength), making the rope suitable for use as halyards, control lines, and mainsail and headsail sheets. The MLX cover can also be stripped away to further cut down on weight when sheeting spinnakers.

From $1.10/foot. Samson Rope Technologies
