Kapa Marine Ropes, 12 & 24 strands
This rope series is considered the most successful mooring rope in the world! A very soft, flexible and easy to handle construction that offers safety on board.
The concept of developing this line was to produce a product made of excellent yarns, with only advantages towards all other mooring ropes; to produce a much safer and stronger product made of raw materials of the highest specifications. A big advantage of Kapa Ropes is that they enable the crew to make perfect splices in zero time. The Kapa Ropes are available in 3 qualities: Nylon (Polyamide) – Polyester – Flex.
Kapa braid on braid
A very soft and flexible double braid construction which combines high stretch and shock absorbing characteristics. The double braid construction consists of a load-sharing core and an anti-abrasion braided cover. Kapa Double braid mooring ropes are made of the highest quality raw materials and are available in 2 basic qualities: Nylon and Polyester.
