Boatropes

[alt]

Right well since i'll make my voice heard if i'm not happy with a service, i'll also compliment someone who gives great service.

I was looking all over the place to get some rope for the boat. I decided on 13mm Navy Dockline as it seemed to suit what I wanted. Got in touch with Boatropes ( eBay UK Shop - Yacht ropes: Anchorplait, Boat ropes, Parelli ) and asked for a quote

I wanted the following:
9m line with splice at the end
7m line with splice at the end
6m line with splice at the end

Total would be £51 including the £11 P+P airmail to Ireland. I was delighted when package arrived and see that the postage alone was £10.81 - Often been overcharged postage to Ireland with the seller nabbing a bit of extra cash from it

When the ropes arrived I was really pleased with the quality of the work carried out. See for yourself:












See the last pic, amazing hand-work IMHO. He accepts PayPal and has very good communication which is important to me.

I think he does more rope than he has on eBay so if you're after new rope, do your research and drop him an e-mail for a quote. I found him considerably cheaper than other UK outlets

Cany disagree with that .. looks like tidy work indeed those should last for many years with that work

I agree - I bought my anchor ropes from him back in 2006 - awesome service - nice to see he is still around!!!

nice to see something positive for a change that no one can knock, very refreshing

I'm after some heavy mooring lines/springs as a gift for my dad so thanks for posting the link.

Don't forget to wash them every time they get salt water on them.

Codders what would you recommend? Persil, Dreft, or Fairy

Persil non-bio worked well on mine

Always used Lux pure soap flakes on climbing ropes - doesn't damage the everdry coatings.

If it were me, I wouldn't use that on my boat - I'd hang it on the wall, it is truly a work of art.

That's the problem, don't wanna get them all dirty now

They won't be used until next season anyhow
