I'm looking now for a larger diameter rope, 1.5-2" /40-50mm. Someone was telling me the the Marine industry used to supply this but everything has recently shifted to synthetics.

I'd hate to have to pay so much from a circus supplier if I could get the rope by the foot and splice it myself.

Hey Thayr, I'll ask at the 'office' tomorrow and get back to you. We've got both a Corde Lisse act and a Cloud Swing act in the show. They use some sort of wicking covered rope and would know of good international suppliers.

The Cordes Lisse act at the circus gave me these:

I personally have not dealt with either of them, but if I were looking, this would be were I would start.
