Hi everyone,

I'd like to replace the uphaul rope on my c. 1986 Bombora South Pacific. I'm hoping to replace it with something that is in keeping with the original style. Do you think maybe Whitworths have this type of coloured rope that I could then braid? Does anywhere else stockthis sort of thing? Looking closely at it, it appears to be a slightly waxy textured 6 ply rope (a few pink plies & one yellow ply). I will probably have to guess the required length of unbraided rope I'll need to buy.... Maybe there is a mathematical formula for that?!

Hope you are all having a good weekend :)
Cheers,
snapperfish.
PS: I am also open to considering more up-to-date uphauls on the market, but am unsure where to look for them. As a learner, I am probably not yet ready for one of the stretchy-type uphauls....
