A short dictionary entry on coir, the fiber prepared from the husk of the coconut. It describes how the nut's husk is stripped, soaked, beaten and rubbed, then twisted into yarn much like hemp. It also gives the strength of coir rope compared with hemp and its suitability for hawsers and rigging, and notes a second source of coir fiber.
