Para Cord

[bottomlesspit]

Anyone know where I can get long reels of paracord to use as halyard messenger, ideally locally (Ipswich) and not at Marina prices. (will need over a 100mtrs or more so decent size reel! )

Thanks in advance

eBay? Amazon? Sadomasochists’r’us?

eBay? Amazon? Sadomasochists’r’us?

Amazon seems to have any amount in 100 metre reels for £9 a reel.

I haven't tried Sadomasochists'r'us but they sound interesting...

Any boat jumbles coming up? Got mine for a fiver at Ipswich boat jumble.

Heheh I have very fancy luminous pink 2mm dyneema for mouse cord, bought in a huge hank at an otherwise rubbish boat jumble for £5

No surplus stores near by? You might find a camping store is the cheapest or if not B&Q?

Does Stowmarket have any SM shops? I think its usually a bit thin for that...

I use blue poly rope 6mm so it cannot come off the sheaves and go down the side to the axle. Very cheap too.

I recently bought 40m reels of cord from Homebase of all places! Strong, long and above all, cheap! What’s not to like

Another for blue rope, cheap and as said stays on the sheaves.
