Racing Dyneema Rope - Sold by the metre

Ideal for racing or cruising allowing reduced diameter lines for easier and lighter rope handling. Dyneema, size for size, is the lightest technical fibre in production. Stripping the smooth 32 plait cover allow further weight reductions by 65% while retaining strength, stretch and wear characteristics.

Tapering the cover on spinnaker sheets for example, means less weight at the clew to let the spinnaker fly higher. However, the cover needs to be retained for handling around winches. The 12 strand dyneema core is coated with Marlow's new armourcoat to improve adhesion between core and cover giving outstanding performance in clutches and jammers and improving abrasion resistance when uncovered.

• Lightweight (lightest technical fibre), high strength.

• Less friction gives faster running and quicker boat maneuvres



• Cover can be stripped
