New England Rope, Spun Dacron, 7/16". Tensile strength 3,250 lb. This is the choice for the purist who prefers conventional 3-strand rope to braid for running rigging. A true spun yarn rope, it has become the standard of the industry nationwide. It's a fine, soft on the hands, free running rope that resists jamming in blocks or fairleads because its three strand structure will temporarily absorb a kink, should one develop. Used by sail makers as a bolt rope, it is offered in solid white. Sold by the foot.
