PARTNERSHIP NEWS: Marlow Ropes Named Official Rope Supplier to SailGP Through 2027

We are thrilled to share a major milestone from our partner brand, Marlow Ropes. SailGP, widely recognized as the most exciting racing on water, has officially announced a new global partnership naming the British manufacturer as the Official Rope Supplier through the end of the 2027 season.

This partnership brings elite, high-performance materials science directly to the world’s fastest foiling catamarans, reinforcing Marlow’s position as a trusted leader from grassroots sailing to the pinnacle of professional racing.

Engineering Under Extreme Loads

The relentless speed, precision, and punishing loads of SailGP’s F50 catamarans demand hardware and line systems that operate entirely without compromise. Marlow’s advanced synthetic fiber ropes are engineered to deliver the ultimate reliability required to race at speeds exceeding 100 km/h (60 mph).

"On and off the water, rope systems play a critical role in the precision and performance required to race F50s at high speed, and Marlow’s expertise will help highlight the innovation behind every moment on the water."— Joel Marginson, SailGP Technologies Director

High Performance Meets Eco-Driven Engineering

Crucially, this partnership aligns elite racing with environmental responsibility. Marlow Ropes continues to lead the industry in sustainable manufacturing by integrating bio-based fibers, recycled materials (such as their signature Blue Ocean® lines made from recycled plastic bottles), and low-impact production processes into the grand prix circuit.

Inspiring the Next Generation & Fan Experience

The collaboration will extend well beyond the racecourses:

• SailGP Inspire Program: Marlow will bring its splicing and rope technology to youth education initiatives, introducing young learners to the technical skills and STEM concepts behind modern sailing.

• Race Stadium Activations: Fans at upcoming events will get unique access to hands-on workshops, learning the exact rigging and splicing techniques used by professional SailGP technical crews.

As a distributor, we are proud to supply our network with the very same technical innovation, craftsmanship, and sustainability that powers the absolute highest level of the sport.
