Dyneema is one of the World's strongest fibres, it is quickly becoming the go to product to replace heavy and hard to work with wire.
Dyneema rope characteristics:
The diameter used is a personal preference, some people like to go thicker for their confidence but 2mm through to 3mm are the most popular. Remember a 2mm dyneema rope will have a breaking strain of around 400kg, which is plenty to hold your weight on the wire.
It's important to note that Sailing Chandlery do offer a rope splicing service, if you're not comfortable doing the splicing work then let us take the task on for you with a quick turn around time.
Tasks to complete:
This is the method we use for D12 locking splices, very simple and very easy.
As usual we are always happy to answer any questions you might have, please get in touch.
Great price. We'll informed with delivery updates. Once arrived it was better than I expected. Great cover well made
The breathable poly cotton cover is very good quality heavy material. Fits the boat well.
Delivery very prompt.
The twine was exactly as described and perfect for the job.
Responded immediately and with excellent knowledge and customer service. Fast delivery. Can’t recommend enough!
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.
Used the Dyneema to make soft shackles. Spliced easily but was noticeably “tighter” when pulling through the tails than I found for similar 4mm Dyneema. Glad for the set of Fids. However I ordered the black colour and whilst it was easy to mark up white Dyneema for planning the splices I couldn’t see the pen marks I made on the black rope. I suppose I should have thought of this and got a white marker! Overall very happy.
Easy to order and promptly sent. Used the 4mm Dyneema to make soft shackles - my first attempts - found it easy to splice and it has made some useful and strong shackles.
I bought this drop-nose pin as a gift for a nephew with a Laser. He is very happy with its robustness and its ease of use.
great value , just the length i wanted
when i ordered they were out of , however they informed straight away , and said they would contact me when back in stock which they, did in all a very good service
