We can supply all the traditional rigging
ropes you may require, made from hemp,
manila and sisal. However traditional
style ropes are now available in modern
synthetic materials that have the look of
manila or hemp. These ropes whilst having
the aesthetic value of the traditional rope,
are rot resistant and UV stable.
