What is the best rope for marine use?
The best rope for marine use depends on the specific application. For mooring and docking, polyester or nylon braided ropes offer excellent strength, UV resistance, and saltwater durability. For traditional marine applications requiring grip, manila rope is highly valued. Braided constructions provide smooth handling and resist snagging, while 3-strand ropes offer reliable knot retention. Orion Cordage manufactures marine-grade options in multiple materials and constructions to meet diverse maritime requirements.
