Marlow Ropes are thrilled to launch Excel Fusion+, a cutting-edge upgrade to their renowned Excel Fusion line.
Excel Fusion+ has been developed in response to extensive user feedback from sailors, riggers, and industry professionals. The design team focused on two critical performance areas: splicability and handling. The result is a rope that’s easier to splice, smoother to handle, and more responsive in dynamic conditions – ideal for high-performance dinghy and small keelboat applications.
This advancement is made possible by a technically refined cover, blended from Dyneema® and Polypropylene, delivering the perfect balance of strength, flexibility, and grip. Whether you’re racing or cruising, Excel Fusion+ offers tactile precision and reliability.
Mark Jardine spoke to Marlow's Jack Ginty to find out what makes Fusion+ different and how it can help you with your sailing.
We then chatted with the British Sailing Team's Hannah Bristow and James Taylor to find out more, and how they'll be using Fusion+ on their 470 class dinghy.
British Sailing Team 49er sailor Rhos Hawes talks about the benefits of Fusion+ incorporating the D12 Dyneema core, which makes tapering the kite sheets really easy, which combined with colour-matching makes it a great product.
