Delivering the next generation of double braid polyester, Yachtmaster XS. Manufactured from an open weave braiding polyester core, with a tightly woven braided polyester cover, Yachtmaster XS is the result of prolonged development to establish extra strength and ease of splicing. The core and cover work in unison through improved "Fibre Orientation" achieved by positioning the fibres of the braid to run as close as possible to parallel with the force along the rope.
