ABL Ropework

Just Launched - ABL Ropework (straight outta Bklyn)

January 4, 2015

What is ABL Ropework?  It's our way of sharing with you an important piece of gear we use on Abilyn--the soft shackle.  It's also our way of defraying some of the costs associated with adventuring offshore because, just as they say, sailing offshore is like standing under a cold shower fully clothed tearing up $100 bills.  So we're making hand-crafted, functional, and reliable Dyneema® soft shackles that work whether you're a weekend cruiser, trailer sailor, gunkholer, holegunker, or serious racer.  Plus, our gear just plain ol' looks good.  And when it comes to sailing, that's really what's most important; right?

We have no doubt that our custom ABL Dyneema® soft shackles will help power your sailing adventures.  And by purchasing these soft shackles, you'll help power ours.  

Please support Abilyn Racing.  Visit http://www.abilynracing.com/ropework and stock up!

Sometimes we take down kites.
Other times we take down notes.

The Takedown chronicles the life and journey of Abilyn, and all who sail her.

About 20 boats on the line for the second double handed pickup race of the season.  Starting pursuit style towards the back of the lineup, I had a nice first leg&mdash;close reaching in 8-12 knots.  Turned the corner at Matinecock, then it was up wit
Out for a little practice before the pick-up game this Saturday because somebody wants it to be on like Donkey Kong.

This is the actual sunrise in Larchmont Harbor this morning.  None of my typical color enhancement.  After arriving at 0300, I woke up a few hours later to an 20-knot easterly.  In the outer harbor, there&rsquo;s a lot of movement.  I think the boat
