8mm SpeedCruise

A top end Spectra corded braid. Great for the cruiser wanting that little bit more a pure polyester braid can't give or for the budget conscious.

What the manufacturer has to say about it -
The new Line for halyards, sheets and afterguys on cruising boats. This article is superior to the quality of the regular polyester double braids, thanks to the core which is braided with Spectra® and High Modulus Polyethylene. Good Breaking load and fairly low elongation, but also flexibility, suppleness, lightness and low water absorption. The double braid construction, without the intermediate braid, makes it easy to splice.

What we have to say about it –
Very nice to handle. Full bodied. Spliced up very well. More than capable of doing what a more expensive Dyneema cored braid can do in many applications. Good value for money.
