Italian rigging specialist Armare Ropes has released its full set of 2027 product catalogues, giving riggers, sailmakers and boat owners an updated look at the rope and cable ranges it builds for racing, cruising, professional applications and composite cables and standing rigging.
Six catalogues make up the collection, each pitched at a different corner of the market, with updated product sheets and a technical overview of every line.
The Endurance Projects & Racing line is built for the most demanding sailing programmes and competition. It covers single and double braid ropes with cores in Dyneema® SK78, SK99 and DM20, wrapped in protective covers using PBO-Zylon®, Technora® and Kevlar®. The fibres, constructions and solutions were refined through extensive testing and close collaboration with riggers, technical teams and crews of the world's leading racing yachts.
Alongside it sits the Performance line, developed for fast cruisers and club racers. It offers single braid and configurable ropes with Dyneema® SK78 and Vectran® cores, combined with different types of protective covers in technical fibres, to strike a balance between performance, durability and functionality.
The Cruising catalogue covers a complete range of running rigging for cruising yachts. Born from Armare's racing know-how and refined through advanced construction techniques, it covers sheets, halyards, tackles, vangs and guys, with each rope accompanied by guidance on its intended use. Custom colours are available without changing the ropes' technical properties.
Mooring gets its own dedicated catalogue, too, covering conventional ropes and floating mooring lines for sailing and motor yachts of every size. Drawing on its experience in the superyacht sector, Armare offers tailor-made diameters, colours, lengths and finishes, along with a wide choice of splices and protections.
Then there's the Composite Cables & Standing Rigging catalogue, built on more than twenty years of research, development and experience in the most demanding international sailing races. It covers cables in PBO-Zylon® and other technical fibres, terminals, accessories, loops and strops for racing yachts, maxi yachts and multihulls, alongside construction features, the advantages of composite fibres, and the company's engineering, support, maintenance and quality control services.
Rounding out the collection is the Professional Solutions catalogue, aimed at riggers, sailmakers and marine technicians. It brings together textile cables, soft shackles, protection covers, webbing, and sewing and splicing materials, the components needed to design, build, install and maintain modern textile rigging systems.
All the catalogues can be browsed online and, after registration, downloaded from Armare's website.
