Is that with their current sale of 33% off + 5% if you have the sales code ?

Hey Weeds,

Thanks for putting up this information. I emailed Russell Whittam today and it is considerably cheaper than Ocean 12, and Aussie made to boot. I will be switching over to Whittam rope from now on I think.

its worth putting long eyes on...

its pretty quick and easy to feed 2 long eyes through each other to join 2 ropes and it will feed onto the winch if you need it to.

we sell them at work and for the simple reason they are a quality rope made here in Australia, the only thing i would mention would be that the 40 metre rope more than likely wont fit in lo mount winches it is advised to go for the 30 metre variant, feel free to pm me if you need further info

cheers
Julian

Great link - thanks!

As an aside rock climbing ropes (core-dependent double braids) are rated for a specific number of falls at the maximum fall factor and/or over a specific edge radius. For anyone interested in some light reading about the forces involved in various dynamic load scenarios, try this link: BEAL ROPES - CLIMBING ROPE - ALPINISM ROPE - How to Choose a Climbing Rope or the certification processes: http://www.bealplanet.com/portail-20...rt_2012_GB.pdf

Compare and contrast against the way winch line is rated, which is why you should never use a winch in such a way that turns it in to life support equipment.
