DON’T:

Leave high tech lines exposed to high levels of ultraviolet light for long
periods of time.

Kink or twist any type of rope.

Don’t stand or walk on ropes and lines.

Surge lines, particularly polypropylene ones, too fast around winches or
cleats or they’ll melt.

Use rope
stoppers that
are likely to
crush the rope’s
core; some
of the more
exotic materials
are prone to
damage of this
nature.

Well organised
running rigging
makes sailing
safer and easier.
