Rigby Spinnaker Plaint is a lightweight buoyant single braid that can be quick-spliced. Like Dinghy Braid, Spinnaker Plait is 100% MFP, which means very light weight, buoyancy, and "shake-dry" - it doesn't absorb water. But unlike Dinghy Braid, it's a loose weave so it splices like a hollowbraid.
Construction
The MFP yarn is carefully selected, high-tenacity for this type of fiber at 7.0g/d or better. 100% of the MFP we utilize is also UV stabilized. 8-point plaited loose weave.
