    arlows Grand Prix Series offers the ultimate in tailor-made performance for running rigging. With hundreds of combinationsperformance cores and covers, plus pioneering weight saving technology and the opportunity to specify ropes to exact

    olourand length requirements, Marlows Grand Prix Series continues to take running rigging for racing and Superyachtsthe next level.

    ressure for success on board a race yacht can be intense and margins between winning and losing can be very slim. Specifyinge worlds premium range of grand prix running rigging will ensure the odds of success are stacked in your favour.

    he Grand Prix Series has been developed and continuously improved through Marlows long experience with high performancecing yachts and feedback from our Grand Prix riggers around the world. This brochure lists some of the more popular products,

    owever the range allows for a totally customised solution to suit the requirements of any application however small.

    pecifying a rope is easy; rst select the core that matches your requirements. Second select the cover to give the propertiesquired. Lastly select one of many custom nishes.

    Applications All running rigging

    Colours Clear

    Marlow DriCoat is not just a simple exterior

    coating, but rather a unique and extremely

    effective rope impregnation formula.

    Ropes become wet very easily on board high

    performance racing yachts; breaking waves

    and spray, a sudden downpour and very cold

    conditions all cause water uptake in ropes.

    A wet rope can be up to 50% heavier than a dry

    one - with the quantity of rope on-board racing

    serts within th e core before the cover is overbraided.

    serts not only increase diameter but help maintain shape

    f the rope to improve clutch and jammer performance.

    Cores can be tapered before the cover is

    overbraided. Core tapering decreases core weight

    and improves exbility of the rope on li ght tails.

    Glow in the dark markers can be added to the cover

    for the entire length or a section to improve line

    visibility and recognition at night.

    right hoist markers can be inserted into the cover in the

    ame material blends to maintain cover stability.

    yachts, that additional weight can soon

    add up. DriCoat is designed t o provide

    long lasting protection against water

    absorption and therefore unnecessary

    on-board weight.

    In addition DriCoat signicantly improvesboth internal and external abrasion and

    the effects of freezing and ice damage,

    thereby allowing the ropes to perform

    better for longer!
