Samson XLS3 Yacht Braid

An upgraded version of Samson's popular XLS line, the newly metric-sized XLS3 is built for the weekend cruiser who desires optimal performance in a recreational rope. XLS3 Yacht Braid is a polyester/polyester double-braid rope which offers moderate stretch, high strength and easy handling. Samson made XLS3 stronger and more responsive than the original XLS, resulting in a better performing line.

XLS3 is ideal for the cruising sailor who desires the better performance that comes with lower stretch compared to basic running rigging lines, as well as for the cruiser/racer for certain applications. Use XLS3 as a stronger, lower stretch, more abrasion resistant product than standard yacht braids like Samson's time-honored LS rope. It remains flexible under use, is colorfast and fade resistant, and has ultraviolet protection.

Compared to the original XLS, XLS3 has been recalibrated for accurate metric sizing, with resulting slight strength and stretch differences. Accurate metric sizing improves XLS3's fit and performance with a broad range of rigging hardware.

Cruisers and day sailors should use Samson's XLS3 for – halyards, mainsheets, spinnaker sheets, jib/genoa sheets, spinnaker guys, control lines, reef lines, dinghy control lines and davits. This versatile line also has many applications outside the marine industry.

With the introduction of XLS3, Samson is also changing the way recreational marine lines are discussed by focusing on a more useful specification for sailors: Elastic Stiffness – the resistance to stretch under load. Until now, emphasis has been on the strength of a line. While strength is important, it is not indicative of what a sailor experiences during actual use. Since Samson’s rope is already stronger than sailors need, they took their cue from professional racers who look at elastic stiffness as the most meaningful measurement of responsiveness in use. Each of Samson’s new running rigging lines now list elastic stiffness as one of their specifications, allowing sailors to be more discerning in their choice of rigging lines. The higher the elastic stiffness value, the less a rope stretches in use.

• Flexible, good handling characteristics, excellent abrasion resistance • Splicing technique: class I double braid splice

Elastic Elongation

• At 10% Break Strength = 1.30% 
• At 20% Break Strength = 2.23%
• At 30% Break Strength = 3.16%

Breaking Strength

Product description.

1/2" Nylon Double Braid for boats, crafts, or general use. 1/2" is typically used with boats up to 25-30 feet Premium double braided nylon that is ultra strong with a higher tensile strength than other dock line materials. By design, it has an ideal combination of decreased stretch and increased shock absorption in addition to being salt water, oil and rot resistant. Soft double braided nylon boat ropes that are easy on your boat finish and comfortable to handle. Nylon ropes will lose about 10% of their strength when wet and will elongate considerably more. They will regain their strength when properly dried

Combine with 5/8"E-Z-TY Rope Clamps  or add   Whipping   to either ends.

Rope Variability:   Diameter  in the rope industry will always vary as no two ropes will ever measure the same, especially if they are different braid types, different manufacturers, materials .  Diameter is a range in the industry and will always have variations due to Cordage Institute specifications. We encourage purchasing a sample length for testing purposes.

*Please note:  Maximum spool size is 300'. The rope(s) pictured are shown in a Double Figure 8 Knot. When purchased, these ropes will arrive in straight pieces unless custom splicing is added during checkout. 

Custom Splicing Information

*Yarn color can vary based on raw materials available.

Excellent rope, great price, fast shipping!

Great Rope!

Better than I expected it. I just got a 50’ length to practice tying knots and it’s such a great rope to practice with.

Cordage & Rope

Unless specified (or sold in spools), line is sold by the foot .

What rope should I buy? A breakdown of the various types:

• Anchoring : Normally anchor rode (the rope between your boat and anchor) is made from stretchy 3-strand or braided nylon. This will absorb a huge amount of shock that otherwise would expose your boat's hardware to damage.
• Bungee cord : Our bungee cord comes with a rubber core and nylon sheath. Do not use bungee cord in any load bearing applications, but can be very useful for tie-downs or similar purposes
• Dinghy Braid : Low cost, simple polyester line with a diamond pattern on the jacket. This pattern provides a little extra friction when pulling small diameter lines by hand; useful for dinghies and small boats without winches.
• Dock & Mooring Lines : These lines are usually made from stretchy nylon, there are polyester options available with shock absorbers built in - or snubbers can be used. Available in several colours. While nylon has more elasticity, polyester provides excellent durability and strength. Mooring lines should have stainless steel eyelets installed on the ends.
• Fender Lines : Usually made from nylon, but often available in polyester, strength isn't an issue, but look for nice, comfortable, large diameters in dynamic colours.
• Hi-Brite Spools : These spools are sold in bulk lengths, usually 100 feet or more, in various materials, but normally high strength polyester or hi-tech Spectra cores. These spools are small diameters, ideal for racing dinghy applications.
• High-Tech Rope : High-tech ropes are designated as such because their core strength is significantly higher than the strength of polyester. Spectra and Dyneema are essentially the same product; Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene, with different brand names. They offer strength-to-weight ratios similar to steel. Of course, they cost more, but in many applications, such as replacing wire halyards or lifelines, the savins in weight and simplicity is highly worth it.
• Lightweight Floating Rope : When rope floats, it is because it has not absorbed water. Therefore, these ropes are 100% synthetic and lightweight. Ideal for towing lines, heaving line, or other applications which require flotation. However, the strength of these ropes are not as high as polyester (usually having a polypropylene core), and often as suspectible to sun damage. Technological advancements are allowing these ropes to become stronger and more durable, but currently they are intended for floating applications only.
• Manila Rope : Unless you're sailing a turn-of-the-century barque, you should not choose manila rope for any application other than strictly decorative. However, manila rope can provide stunning nautical effects!
• Polyester Yacht Braid : This type of line will meet most of your needs! Excellent durability and strength, moderate cost (marginally more than nylon) with low stretch and available in various colours. When in doubt, go with polyester.
• Wire to Rope Halyards : These lines have a portion of stainless steel wire, spliced directly to polyester rope. This line is meant to replace existing wire-to-rope halyards. Do not install a wire-rope halyard on a boat that currently has an all-rope halyard - the wire will destroy the sheaves intended for rope!

PROPER LOADING OF ROPE

The following information may help you decide the right size of line to purchase. It can also be helpful determining the load placed on other hardware on your boat, such as shackles, blocks, padeyes and eye straps.

The breaking strength of rope is based on direct pull along a single length of rope. When slings, using two or more legs to carry the load are properly employed, the rope's safe working load is substantially increased. However, as illustrated below, the load factor on each kilogram of the sling is greatly increased as the sling angle becomes smaller.

Therefore the use of slings requires certain precautions as well as a knowledge of safe working loads permissible. For best results, sling angles should never be more than 90-degrees, and rarely less than 45-degrees. Remember to regularly inspect splices and all fittings! Consider using rub strakes if the rope will be in contact with surfaces that may chafe!

Angle-to-Sine Conversion Chart:

You can use a scientific calculator to determine sine. Simply punch in the angle (as a whole number, eg 40) and press the "sine" function (answer 0.642).

Still need a scientific calculator? If you're running Windows, you probably have one! Just go to "Start", "All Programs", "Accessories", then choose "Calculator". The calculator's default setting is "Standard", so if you don't see the SIN/COS/TAN functions, click on "View", then "Scientific".
