Joining Forces to Defend Against the Wet Environment In preparation for the America's Cup, the world's best sailors, engineers and designers are joining forces, or partnering - in pursuit of vital technological advantages. At New England Ropes,partnering is also our key to engineering better dock and anchor lines. Our rope manufacturing starts with AlliedSignal's high tenacity Caprolan® nylon with a proprietary SeaGard® marine overfinish. That's our first line of defense against wet abrasion. By utilizing a special rope stabilization process, we transform these fibers into a premium rope that's easy to handle, with enhanced strength as well as minimal rope shrinkage and hardening. The result - significant performance advantages over ordinary twisted nylon ropes including: • Excellent breaking strength - 15% stronger Superior wet abrasion resistance - up to 20X greater • Improved resistance to harmful UV rays • Outstanding durability for long-lasting performance Join the forces that defend against wet abrasion with New England Ropes' 3-strand Dock and Anchor lines - available in a variety of sizes.
