Rope: Marlow V2 Racing

Vectran Racing's no stretch performance, makes it ideal for static high load applications. It is made from a high performance Thermoplastic yarn spun from liquid Crystal Polymer. The outstanding property of this material is that at 50% of the breakload Vectran shows no sign of stretch or creep - most working loads are at 20% to 30% of the breakload. V2 Racing proved itself on the windward sections of the Whitbread race when there was no distortion of the Foresails even in heavy seas with the boat slamming.
