sheet and halyard ropes

Ropes with low elongation, very high strength and abrasion resistance and long service life. Out of the very broad spectrum of materials, mostly polyester for normal applications is used here while polypropylene is alternative for less demanding conditions.

Dynamic racing line

D-F1

Number one among halyard ropes. D-F1 is an unbeatably strong rope with minimum elongation. The rope surface is furnished with a special protective finish which endows the rope with unusual abrasion resistance and stability when exposed to UV radiation. Considering its extraordinary properties, the rope is the first choice for all advanced yachters.

MARLIN

Marlin is a rope with a brand new construction in the production of which the Double Touch technology has been utilized. This technology offers the following main advantages Đ zero cover-to-core slippage, high abrasion resistance, high strength, very low elongation, and excellent comfort when using the rope. Thanks to its properties, this rope is very universal and suitable mainly for sheets.

D-EXTREME

This top racing rope is a unique mixture of three materials. In the core is braided Dyneema for excellent strength and low elongation. The inner cover is made from polyester staple to reduce shifting between the core and cover. The cover is made 50% aramide (Technora) which is highly temperature resistant (melting point 500 ˇC) and 50% of high tenacity polyester. This combination makes it ideal to use on winches especially during extreme racing.

D-78

A rope that takes advantage of excellent properties of two hi-tech fibres, Dyneema SK78 and Dyneema SK75 Touch. An important property of Dyneema SK78 fibre is that it does not creep even under heavy load and provides the high strength of the rope. Dyneema SK75 Touch contributes to the strength but mainly provides the zero cover-to-core slippage to eliminate problems during the rope passage through pulley systems. Suitable to be used for halyard and where long-lasting heavy loads occur.

D-RACE

D-RACE is a very strong rope with exceptionally low elongation, which, courtesy of the structure of the polyester cover, holds very well at all stoppers. It is a racing rope suitable to be used as the mainsail, jib, vang and cunnigham rope. Part of the rope may be stripped of its cover in order to reduce its weight.

V-PROFI

This excellent rope exhibits outstanding strength, low elongation and, moreover, the unique property of Vectran-immeasurable creep. Courtesy of these properties, V-PROFI is exceptionally fitting for all halyards and backstays. The inner cover is made of polyester staple fibre preventing relative movement of the cover towards the core. The cover is made of low abrasive polyester fibre which endows the rope with outstanding abrasion resistance and long life.

DYNESPORT

DYNESPORT is the choice for yachters who require high performance at an affordable price. High strength, low elongation and the weight of the rope, good abrasion resistance–these are some of the attributes that make this rope a perfect halyard application for the mainsail, jib and spinnaker. Thanks to its structure, it holds very well at all stoppers and the transference of force from the cover to the core is exceptional, even at high loading. A highly durable rope with an outstanding performance/ price ratio.

DYNETRIM

High-tech rope with Dyneema core and a cover of polyester staple fibre. An extremely touchfriendly, flexible strong rope with low elongation. DYNETRIM is a trimming and sheet rope for ambitious yachters operating circling sailboats or cabin cruisers. It can be used for both mainsail and spinnaker sheet. It retains its outstanding properties throughout its entire life.

HURRICANE

Exceptionally soft and flexible rope with very good strength and low elongation. The rope is especially suitable for mainsail, genoa and spinnaker sheets for yachters who prefer higher sensitivity with regard to the trimming of the sails. Courtesy of technical innovations, HURRICANE displays outstanding strength in its given group and moreover is very easy to splice.

MELTEMI

Universal sheet and halyard rope designed to be handled manually. MELTEMI is a strong and exceptionally soft rope, retaining its flexibility and softness even if wet. Thanks to the material used, this rope offers high abrasion resistance and outstanding resistance to UV radiation. The rope will get you with its touchfriendliness and easy spliceability.

BREEZE

A multi-purpose rope, excellent as a trimming rope for travellers and complex pulley systems. Courtesy of its structure, it holds circularity perfectly. BREEZE is moreover characterised by long life and is designed for yachters who prefer ropes with better abrasive resistance.

BORA

Rope with the lowest elongation in the Cruising line group. In addition, it allows for a perfect passage through pulleys. BORA exhibits a long service life and is a choice in all types of notches, stoppers and winches. In sea cruiser applications, the rope may be used for halyard of the mainsail, trim traveller, gen, cunningham, etc. With circling boats, the rope is especially suitable for such applications as halyards, outhaull, vang, etc.

BLIZZARD

Strong, exceptionally soft and flexible rope with a braided construction that makes it highly resistant when used in notches, stoppers and winches. Suitable for use as halyard and sheet mainsail, gen and spinnaker rope, but also for trim outhaull, cunningham, etc. BLIZZARD retains its flexibility and colour stability during its entire service life.

ZEPHYR

Due to its flexibility and touch-friendly surface finish, ZEPHYR is designed to be handled manually as it will never scratch its operator´s hands, even if wet. Moreover, the rope retains its flexibility during the entire period of use. The rope for mainsail, jib and spinnaker sheets of circling and sea boats remains resistant even if employed in pulley systems.

GALE

GALE is a floating rope, which has a lot of boat applications thanks to its lightness, softness and flexibility. Courtesy of the stabilised polypropylene fibre used, the rope is characterised by perfect UV radiation resistance. It may be used in a number of applications, ranging from light spinnaker rope up to ancillary rope for the fixation of rescue means, etc.

D-GRIP

The high-tech Dyneema rope can be tapered exactly as required. Extreme- ly touch friendly cover is designed to be stripped in areas that will not be han- dled to expose second cover with high strength and low stretch Dyneema core. Thanks to this you can have lightweight custom made rope. This double layer op- tion is ideal for Spinnaker/Asymmetric Sheets.

D-SHEET

Soft and flexible rope with high strength and low elongation. Good holding in stoppers, easy to splice, with excellent knot strength. Suitable especially for main- sail/spinnaker/gennaker/jib sheet.

SIROCCO

SIROCCO is a very flexible, light, floating rope made of UV stabilised polypropylene fibre, which does not get soaked with water. It has a lot of boat applications, ranging from spinnaker sheets, through tow ropes up to floating mooring ropes.

1daN amounts to approx. 1kg

Elongation curves for "used" sheet and halyard ropes

The term "used" denotes used regularly under normal weather conditions. These are lab-simulated at tenfold rope loading lasting 10 seconds with the loading force amounting to 20% of the maximum strength of the given rope.
