Armare Ropes expands its Classic line — dedicated to vintage and historical boats — with the introduction of Galea Rope, a 3-strand twisted rope made from a blend of Polyester and Cordura, featuring a traditional laid construction for sailors who are seeking modern performance in a rope with a vintage look.

Specifically designed to be used onboard classic yachts, Galea Rope stands out for its excellent performance and elegant appearance. It is available in Melange Hemp-White color, which perfectly suits the traditional aesthetic of the vintage boats. The combination of Polyester and Cordura ensures high abrasion resistance and a superior grip, both in hand and on winches, guaranteeing easiness of handling and reliability in all conditions.

Key features:

  • Available diameters: from 3 mm to 20 mm (other sizes on request)
  • Elongation at 30% of breaking load: 13.85%
  • Elongation at breaking load: 26.30%
  • Color: Melange Hemp-White

Galea Rope is the ideal choice for owners and riggers who value the classic aesthetics and want to preserve the authentic feel of a vintage yacht, without compromising on the safety and performance offered by state-of-the-art materials.

Like all Armare products, Galea Rope is available online at the official store.

More information about ropes for classic boats can be found in the Classic Line section of the Armare Ropes website.
