Designed specifically for Optimist sailors, this new mainsheet is ready to go — just tie it at the thinner end for a 3:1 or 4:1 setup and hit the water!

The 8–6 mm rope combines a lightweight HT polyester core with a soft, cotton-feel cover, offering both strength and comfort. The tapered ends reduce weight and allow the sheet to glide easily through the blocks.Length: 7 m Diameter: 6–8–6 mm Material: HT polyester core with a polyester/cotton outer cover.As with any mainsheet, friction between the blocks and rope is natural and may lead to wear over time, especially when the ratchet is engaged.

Due to this friction, the block will naturally wear the rope over time.

The combination of Black Technora, Dyneema, Polyester and Cordura creates the most advanced Optimist mainsheet available. The mainsheet has extremely good wear resistance characteristics. It has a total length of 7.6 meter and is double tapered from 9 to 6.5 mm.
