Marlow Ropes announced upcoming marine industry exhibitions and product launches, including new lines for recreational sailing and arboriculture.
Marlow Ropes Showcases Latest Marine Innovations at METS
Marlow Ropes confirmed plans to exhibit at METS, bringing its newest marine industry innovations directly to recreational boating professionals and enthusiasts. The company will display its established Marlow Doublebraid line, which developers describe as offering higher breaking strength, lower elasticity, and smoother handling for simpler splicing on deck. Alongside the METS showcase, the manufacturer continues its active presence across international maritime events, following its participation in the Emirates Great Britain Sail Grand Prix held in Portsmouth on July 25 and 26, 2026, as reported by marlowropes.com.
Clipper Ventures Secures Four-Year Rigging Partnership
Clipper Ventures signed a four-year agreement naming Marlow Ropes the official running rigging supplier for the fleet, beginning specifically with the new Clipper RX boats. The partnership underpins the grueling global racing circuit, which recently completed Leg 7 of Race 11 from Panama to Washington, D.C., followed by the Race 13 Grand Final. Crews rely on specialized rigging specifications to manage high-load environments across shifting ocean conditions.
For vessel owners and commercial operators looking to upgrade running rigging systems, consulting with experienced marine hardware specialists ensures proper load calculations and hardware compatibility.
Expanding Specialized Arboriculture Lines with Altair
Beyond competitive sailing, Marlow Ropes introduced Altair, a high-visibility climbing rope engineered specifically for professional tree care operations. The company also published a dedicated arboriculture brochure detailing technical specifications for tree surgeons who require smooth friction control and reliable grip during daily ascents.
Managing complex arboriculture projects safely requires certified gear and experienced crews. Property owners and municipal planners often rely on verified tree care professionals to handle high-risk canopy maintenance using modern safety lines.
Marlow Ropes will also exhibit its specialist catalog at Vertical Days, showcasing technical cordage engineered for work-at-height applications and industrial access sectors.
