What rigging rope to order


Recommended Posts

 

 

I will be starting another kit build in the next month or so and have been doing a little bit of homework on rope available other than what has been supplied in the kit (kit rope doesn't inspire me that much !) . This may sound totally stupid on my part (so please excuse the question from a relative newbie if it is!) but some suppliers offer a "left" twist or a "right" twist coil. Is one better than another or are there specific reasons for the difference.

 

I also noticed that some are called "served" cotton ropes. Again what is the purpose of these or can I use any type of rope which will do the same thing.

 

Any help would be appreciated 

 

Cheers..............Fernando  :cheers:
