Ropes are the muscles of a sailing boat. Halyards, sheets, control lines, reefing lines, or mooring lines are used on every sailing trip, enduring sun, salt, wind, and time. Regular maintenance and proper finishing are essential to preserve their mechanical strength, prehension and safety.

At Sailhero, we combine traditional craftsmanship with modern ropework techniques to extend the life of your lines and optimize their use on board.

Our Services Include:

·         Splicing: A strong connection with no loss of resistance, adapted for shackles, blocks, or swivels

·         Chafe protection: Reinforcement for high-friction zones (winches, clutches, sheaves)

·         Cover stripping or sleeving: Adjusting flexibility and weight depending on load areas

·         Soft shackles and loops: Lightweight, reliable alternatives to metal shackles

Each rope is treated individually, with care and precision. We tailor our work to your sailing style — whether offshore cruising or competitive racing.

The assaults are numerous:

• UV rays, humidity, and salty air cause premature aging
• Repeated friction creates localized wear areas
• Tension and mechanical shocks alter the internal structure of the rope

The Right Line for the right Use

In addition to ropework, we help you choose the best ropes for your needs:

• High-performance halyards (with high-modulus polyester, Dyneema, Technora cores or covers
• Soft yet durable sheets
• Stripped/sleeved ropes
• Special lines for lazy jacks, mooring, towing, or even floating ropes

We carry out all ropework in our workshop or directly on site in Hyères.
