Sta-Set X Yachting Rope: Enhanced Performance for Discerning Sailors

Our Sta-Set X yachting rope boasts a patented all-polyester braid with a parallel core construction, complemented by a filament/spun cover. Crafted for excellence, it delivers superior handling and exceptional abrasion resistance.

Here’s why Sta-Set X stands out:

  • Reduced Stretch: With one-third less stretch compared to Sta-Set, Sta-Set X ensures stability and responsiveness during critical maneuvers.
  • Cost-Effective Alternative: In numerous applications, Sta-Set X can seamlessly replace expensive racing braids, especially when sizing conservatively.
  • Enhanced Grip: The soft cover provides a secure hold both in your hand and on winches, enhancing control and confidence.
  • Distinctive Identification: Look for the characteristic “X” – two fine red tracers on the white cover – signifying Sta-Set X.
  • Easy Line Recognition: Color-coded options (red, blue, and green) feature bold colored “X” flecks for quick identification.
  • Minimal Stretch: At 20% of its breaking strength, Sta-Set X exhibits a mere 1.95% stretch.
  • Choose Sta-Set X for your sailing endeavors, where performance meets precision. Elevate your yachting experience with the rope trusted by professionals worldwide.
