Racing line High-performance ropes for racing boats

PBO – Zylon® / Black Technora® o Gold Technora® / Dyneema®
This cover is the ideal choice for running rigging subjected to high loads or high temperatures. Moreover, it is suitable for all those manoeuvers where very fast recoveries are necessary as it avoids the melt of the fibers and damages that affect the life of the cover. The mixture of three different highperformance fibers guarantees a remarkable durability and smoothness as well as an excellent resistance to abrasion and heat, thanks to the high melting point of the basic fibers.

USE: For the use on spinnaker/gennaker sheets, spinnaker/gennaker halyards, runner tails

Black Technora® o Gold Technora® / Dyneema®
The mixture of these fibres has been carefully studied to be fairly distributed in order to make them take advantage of their mutual characteristics, both in terms of durability and performance. Excellent results in order of smoothness, abrasion resistance and durability have been reached.

USE:Ideal for high fatigue manoeuvres and repeated mechanical stress, in particular where the wear of the cover is steadily present e.g. jib sheets, tacklines and staysail sheets

Black Technora® o Gold Technora®/ Dyneema® / Poliestere
This item is suitable for many different boats and uses because of its excellent resistance to abrasion and to repeated bending. Compared to TEC/DYN covers, it is easer to customize thanks to the presence of Polyester and it even becomes more recognizable in the distinction of the different manoeuvres

USE: It’s simple to control and to release on winches. Ideal for jib and gennaker sheets as well as for halyard and control lines

Kevlar® / Dyneema®
The combination in due proportions of Kevlar® and Dyneema® turns this cover into a first-class rope. It’s a good alternative to PBO/DYN covers as soon as slightly lower loads but high repetition cycles on running rigging are required. Tests made on board of the top of the class racing boats during hard sessions of match races confirme that those two fibres work in symbiosis and that their characteristics compensate one another.

USE: This cover is used on One Design jib sheets and high-load tackles whenever the repetition of cycles on running rigging is high.

Kevlar®/ Dyneema®/ Poliestere
It preserves similar characteristics as its sister-cover BTEC/ DYN/PET, but thanks to the high point of fusion of Kevlar® it is more suitable for high speed manoeuvres and load. It holds one of the best grips but a lower UV resistance in comparison to Black Technora®, which is composed by special pigments that protract the life of the rope, despite of the exposure to UV rays.

USE: Ideal for manoeuvres of high fatigue and cyclical mechanical stress e.g. jib sheets, tacklines and staysail sheets.
