The outer cover is designed to provide greater abrasion resistance and improved grip, which is important when the rope runs through deck hardware, clutches, winches, and blocks on sailing boats. The construction also improves handling and durability under repeated loading. The specialised construction and marine-grade yarns increase manufacturing costs, but provide better long term performance, smoother handling, and greater durability in demanding sailing environments.
