Buying Rigging Line


Recommended Posts

Ok so this is a very specific silly question, but I'm very anal about how my boat looks.

 

The rigging line that came with my boat is very rustic looking... it's nice and soft and has tiny bits of thread coming off of it. I ran out of it and bought some new line from Amati (same people who made my boat), but I don't like the look of it... it's very clean and new looking, and a bit stiff.

 

I've attached a pic of the two threads below... the one I like is the top one. I know this probably seems ridiculous seeing as they look almost identical in the picture, but there's a bigger difference in person.

 

Anyway, I'm just wondering where I might be able to get some of the rustic looking thread?

Wow that is a tough question. Personally I usually wax my line to get rid of the fuzz. Chuck sells some scale model rope that is very authentic in scale and look. but I am afraid it will not suit you purpose here.
