Better to the Core
BETTER TO THE CORE
From dinghies to destroyers, G&B manufactures ropes of uncompromising quality for every application. G&B Ropes are a unique weave of modern engineering and time honored tradition. Our products are the result of years of experience in the lab, at the braiders, and perhaps more importantly, on the water. At G&B Ropes we realize that the best rope in the world isn’t worth it if you can’t get your hands on it when you need it.
