All across boat parks we see bowlines and other knots tied in 12 strand dyneema rope. This is most common on purchase systems where sailors know they should be using Dyneema but are unsure on how to splice the rope.
This might seem like the right thing to do but there are a few reasons why you shouldn't do this:
We strongly recommend splicing your lines as standard on your boat. This is because the splice ensures a much higher break load and ensures all of the strands of the rope are utilised in the best direction for ultimate strength.
If you don't know how to splice then don't worry, we offer a splicing service here at Sailing Chandlery.
We came across this video from Mozzy sails which shows exactly how the bowline in dyneema performs in a tug of war.

the product is perfect main sail repaired ready to go
Excellent strong lightweight clips ideal for swapping out flags easily
to be used for trapeze lines - hopefully will withstand UV better than other cheaper versions.....
Ordered and it arrived within 2 days.. Superb personalised service. Would highly recommend this website. Thank you.
Super service, dispatched next day and arrived in time... Fantastic service.
These blocks are a nice balance between quality and weight - I needed something light for jib sheet clew blocks as I didn’t want too much weight hanging on the corner, and it needed to run smoothly (and stay running smoothly) - these fit bill nicely. The sheave is also more protected than other blocks where the edges can get chewed up where they hit the mast.
