At Yale Cordage, sailing is more than a pastime. It's an obsession. We think about rope. We talk about rope. And every single day of the year, we work to develop the best, most advanced ropes in the industry. Ropes so advanced they're found at every level of the sailing spectrum — from pond-skimming dinghies to globe-circumnavigating trimarans — and everywhere in between.

Naturally, our reputation doesn't come by chance. It comes from years of careful experimentation with cutting-edge fibers like Kevlar, Spectra, Vectran and Zylon PBO to produce lightweight, high-performance ropes for specialty applications. It comes from real-world testing under mother nature's most challenging weather conditions. And most importantly, it comes from years of feedback from satisfied customers — the very same customers who've made Yale the most trusted name in marine rope for more than 50 years.
