Samson XLS3 Yacht Braid Rope

Samson XLS3 Yacht Braid Rope is a polyester double-braid rope for cruising sailors who want better performance than basic running rigging line. It is an upgraded version of Samson's popular XLS line and is built for recreational sailing. It has moderate stretch, high strength, and handles easily. Use it as marine rope or sailboat line for halyards, sheets, and control lines.

Key Features:

• Flexible in use, with good handling and excellent abrasion resistance
• Colorfast and fade resistant, with UV protection
• Easy to splice using a Class I double braid splice
• Metric-sized and recalibrated for accurate metric sizing compared with the original XLS

XLS3 suits cruisers who want low-stretch performance. It also works for cruiser/racers in certain applications. It is sold as bulk rope.
