Tips for Apparatus Care
  • Knots can be tied in the ends of the rope to make handling easier
  • A small amount of tape on each end of the rope can make it easier to see when catching it
  • The rope does not have to be bought from an RG equipment supplier, it can be purchased from a marine shop etc as there are many brightly coloured boat ropes that are also suitable for RG
