Open Nets
As its name implies, this netting is extremely open and intended for areas where minimum windage, and minimum water resistance are a priority. Open Netting is made from cords as are most fishing nets and usually laid out on the diamond (cords running diagonally). All of our open netting is knotless, so that the cord intersections are woven together, eliminating uncomfortable knots. These nets are finished similar to Mesh Nets with a reinforced border, usually with grommets, boltrope, or cable sleeves. Due to their open nature these nets are not as comfortable as the mesh nets, but work well in areas that need the openness like trimaran bow nets and high performance offshore boats. All 4 of these nets are manufactured with our vinyl coating, available in your choice of 12 colors, for improved UV resistance.

| Offshore 3/8" hole Polyester Open Net
|
The Offshore Net is designed for larger cruising multihulls that need a light comfortable net that can shed water quickly. This netting is constructed like a knotless open net but has smaller holes similar to the Coated Polyester Mesh for better comfort. The Offshore is the strongest of all the open nets we offer but still has an openness better than any of the mesh net materials. Made from low stretch polyester fibers and vinyl coated for UV resistance and appearance, this net is the perfect compromise between strength, openness and comfort. |

| Light Duty 3/4" hole Nylon Open Net
|
A good safety net for smaller areas that will not get much traffic. This net has 3/4" holes (hole sizes are measured parallel and perpindicular to the cords which run diagonally across the net) and is made of knitted nylon with our vinyl coating applied. The nylon fibers give this net a stretchy feel but also absorb more of the strain to prevent breakage. |

|
| Ultra Pro 1-1/2" hole Polyester Open Net
|
This is a superior Polyester net good for the largest net openings on high performance boats, with 1-1/2" holes for maximum openness. Made with twisted strands of fibers, instead of knited, the cord is considerably stronger, with less stretch, and no loss of strength in the intersection. |
