Marlow becomes Official Race Supplier
14 August 2007
For the third time in the 12-year history of the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race Marlow Ropes will be supplying the cordage for Clipper fleet. Their ability to combine leading edge manufacturing techniques with the constant development of new fibres makes Marlow a welcomed supplier to the Clipper 07-08 Race.
“The yachts and crews involved in the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race face demanding challenges every day and the equipment they use must be able to perform in extreme and often dangerous conditions,” says Jon Mitchell, Marlow’s General Manager. “Marlow’s products have been proven time and again and we are delighted to be working with Clipper again as the official cordage supplier for the Clipper 07- 08 Race.”
Each of Clipper’s 68-foot racing yachts will be kitted out with 1.3 kilometres of Marlow’s Marlowbraid and Dyneema* giving a total of more than 13 kilometres for the entire fleet.
Clipper Chairman Sir Robin Knox-Johnston says:
“I’m delighted that Marlow have once again come on board to supply the cordage for the Clipper Race. They have an impressive track record, use the latest technology and I’m pleased that the fleet will benefit from being supplied with their high end product.”
