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

M . ior 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.
