Donaghys 8 Plait Polyethylene Ski Braid - Various Colours
The Essential Floating Braid for Water Sports and Marine Use
The Donaghys 8 Plait Polyethylene Ski Braid is a high-performance, purpose-built rope designed for all your water activities. Manufactured from **100% monofilament polyethylene (PE)** with a distinctive hollow, 8-plait construction, this braid is engineered to deliver safety, durability, and superior handling where floating rope is essential.
Key Features & Benefits:

    
Floats on Water: Constructed with a low specific gravity PE material, this rope **will not absorb water** and remains buoyant, making it easy to retrieve and highly visible on the surface.
    
8 Plait Hollow Construction: The tight braid provides high strength and excellent **abrasion resistance** against rough surfaces and water friction. The hollow core allows for quick and easy splicing.
    
Simple to Splice: The hollow construction facilitates easy splicing—the plait can be fed back inside the core to create soft, strong eye loops or handles without the need for complex knots.
    
UV Stabilised: Treated to resist breakdown from sun exposure, ensuring the rope maintains its strength and vibrant colour over years of outdoor use.
    
Soft Feel and Lightweight: Despite its strength, the braid is soft to the touch and lightweight, making it comfortable to handle, coil, and stow.

Ideal Applications:
This specialist floating line is perfect for:

    
Water Skiing, Wakeboarding, and Kneeboarding (as a tow rope)
    
Towing Water Toys and Inflatables
    
Animal Lead Ropes (for buoyant applications)
    
Safety and Rescue Lines where flotation is critical
    
General Marine Use where a floating, durable cord is required
