Good sheet rope
I use the rope as a genoa sheet on 26 feet.
I would have actually preferred something "fluffy". The cover is quite smooth and needs one more turn around the winch. On the other hand, it hardly kinks and runs through well. It should be noted that the cover is woven quite loosely. This makes it easy to slit, but with sharp kinks, e.g. in a thimble, you have to be careful that the core can slip out of the cover and should be fixed accordingly.

Very good and handy
However, the bulkhead system could be 1 to 2 m longer for my 34" boat. It is very tight, hence 1 star less.

Top Shot for a Dufour 31
The Turk's Cap fits exactly into the thimble of the headsail.

Listen, honestly it's not bad.
They had scrambled my listening, so I had to change it. It is beautiful work. I was too lazy to splice myself. I actually don't know how to splice. So I ordered something ready-made for splice losers. It's not easy to use the word splice three times in the same paragraph, well that's four times. Yes, this comment has no interest I grant you. (the rope) Well it's not all that sailing friends, but I have a genoa to tuck in....

"Smart" Scotte
They reduce the risk that, during a turn, everything gets stuck on the stay. With a reefing jib, taking your hand you can easily pass the sheet to the other branch.

Good sheet
My preferred sheet as it makes splicing easy. Gleistein has good instructions for this. On our first ship we had Gemini in the 10mm version. 5 years with no noticeably great wear and tear and still "supple" ...

Good sheet
I always like to take Gemini because of the good spliceability.

supple - but core quickly comes out of the mantle
I used the rope as a Smeerreep for two summers. At the point of the figure-eight knot, the sheath releases the core, the rope kinks and the core is exposed. That didn't happen to me with Race XP and Cruise XP. The soft jacket makes splicing easier. The rope is softer in the hand than for example Race XP.

Lies well in the hemp
Good sheet - lies well in the hand. Slips a bit when it's new

QUALITY PRODUCT
product is well made and studied in detail, the cordage is not very flexible, the spliced shackle is well made and holds well even with strong tensions
