Abstract
A synthetic rope () comprises a core () and at least a first layer surrounding the core (). The first layer has first layer strands (). The core has a fluted outer surface with spaced apart helical concave grooves. Each of these grooves contacts one of the first layer strands (). The grooves have a radius of curvature () that is greater than the radius of curvature () of a circle having a same diameter as the contacting first layer strand before twisting.
