source of discounted rope?

[Birdseye]

need to buy a new halyard or two and cant find a suitable cheap mail order outfit in the mags I have handy.

can anyone recommend a source (pm me if you think best) at better than chandlery prices?

 

[Strathglass]

Best I have found has been at boat jumbles.

Cheers

Jimmy Green used to be about the best - is he still up & running?

 

[MoodySabre]

Jimmy Green's is still about - adverts in all the mags, website and doing the boat jumbles.

 

[Birdseye]

Thanks, but the last thing Jimmy Green is is cheap!

What size & length do you need? I have lots which my Wife tells me I have sell and make room in the garage!!!

 

[Strathglass]

Got to agree with that especially for ropes. I was paying half the JG asking prices from another trader at Irvine a couple of years ago.
I bought hi techropes from that supplier for the same price as polyester ones on the JG stand.

Try Barry Edwards. You can buy from him on E-Bay or privately. He even sends it to you when you are abroad which not many people are happy to do. Good Luck.

Several suppliers on ebay, I have bought halyards and dockline from two of them............. can't remember off hand which ones but could look up if you need to know.

Don't forget to factor in postage. IIRC Marlow Braid on Braid was £1.00 pm for 10mm. Marlow Dockline was similar for 12mm........... both including postage but these were prices 12 months ago.

I've noticed these prices looked good, but havn't bought from them yet.
Dyneema 10mm £2.50 againts J Green £7.80

I've now replaced all my halyards, mostly by bidding for set lengths as they've come up on Ebay. I needed two 24m lengths of 8mm Dyneema, and ended up with one 30m length for £40 inc postage, and one 25m length for around the same price from a different seller.

Thanks for the Rope Cellar ref, they may come in handy for some other jobs.

I recently got a load from www.yachtriggingsupplies.com - I wanted to use a local chandler, but just couldn't bring myself to pay twice as much. Marlow rope. Fast delivery and very cheap.

 

[tangomoon]

Yes I agree - really expensive people

 

[Sans Bateau]

his this chap a try, bought a 40 metre length of octoplait from him, cheapest I could find.

Second Barry Edwards - you can find him on ebay under "boatropes". Just bought a new set of braided mooring lines from him for a lot less than J. Green etc.

Another vote from Barry Edwards. He lives not far from me so I usually meet him to save postage. Recently bought some very nice mooring warps from him for £1 per metre. Jimmy Green price was £2.50 per metre. His stock is all imported from Canada, range slightly limited, e.g. only blue or red with white for halyards, but incredibly cheap.
