Anyone know what this rope is

[woody paul]

Looks the same as some 11mm Malow I have apart from mine has black thread running through it.

Or afrayed knot.

Need a rope identifying

 

I bought a length of this at a farm sale today

 

Its 20mm dia. it has a 16 strand jacket and an 8 pair strand core, its got a small green trace.

 

Any ideas?

 

 

Hi tree I seen rope like yours at the Arb show mate off one of the stand thanks Jon

Don't think it's rigging rope

Believe it's static and designed for mooring boats up?

 

Hmmm

 

When we needed the extra long length for the "Holmfirth, half way up a vertical banking" job, I explained to the nice man at Marlow in Heywood said it was suitable for lowering.

 

I don't think its static. Marlow's website describes it as "shock absorbing"

Pre-Spliced Dockline

 

Either way, I am well off for lowering kit but a bit of something for dragging stuff over wont go amiss. Got a clearance job breaking out tomorrow so I will give it a try on that.

Dock line will always have a bit of give in it. Even properly rated static line should be ok for rigging - if you break anything whilst lowering with undamaged modern rope then the chances are that you are doing something wrong in the first place IMO.

I would have said marlow, but their dockline seems to have three strands in each of the cover braids rather than pairs as per your photo.

That's what I thought it was, but on closer inspection I'm not sure.
