The English Braids ILCA Safety Painter Line is a ready-made 8mm x 8m floating tow line, supplied pre-cut and ready to stow aboard. Made from soft-handling 8-plait multifilament polypropylene, it floats on the water for quick recovery and satisfies the ILCA Class requirement to carry a painter line at sanctioned events. The rope’s improved UV resistance and resistance to acids and alkalis make it a durable choice for sailing in Ireland, whether racing an ILCA/Laser at club level or keeping a compliant tow line aboard for regattas. Lightweight and easy to coil, it stows neatly in a dinghy bag or cockpit locker between outings.
