Marlow Blue Ocean® Halyards are a high-quality all-round solution for cruising and club racing yachts requiring dependable low-stretch running rigging. Designed for excellent handling and durability, these ropes feature a robust polyester cover with a distinctive blue fleck finish and a low-elongation core for improved sail control and reduced stretch under load.

Suitable for use as mainsail halyards, genoa halyards and general control lines, Marlow Blue Ocean® ropes provide smooth operation through mast sheaves, rope clutches and self-tailing winches. The abrasion-resistant cover offers excellent grip and long service life, even in demanding marine environments.

Part of Marlow’s BLUE OCEAN® sustainability programme, these halyards are manufactured using recycled rPET polyester yarn derived from recycled plastic bottles. This helps reduce waste and reliance on virgin petroleum-based materials while maintaining the same strength, handling and durability expected from premium marine rope.

Ideal for a wide range of sailing yachts, Blue Ocean® Halyards deliver an excellent balance of strength, flexibility, sustainability and value, making them a popular choice for both replacement rigging and new installations.
