There is some misconception about Dyneema and most people think they need it for everything to make them faster on the water. However, this is not the case.
Here are a few cases where polyester ropes are equally as good.
Locking Halyards, A halyard for example on a Tornado or Dart 18 with a metal ring that hooks onto the pin at the top of the mast.
Dyneema is known for its low stretch and creep when cleated. So if you have a locking halyard you don't need Dyneema as polyester rope like an 8 plait pre-stretched or an Evo performance rope is as good. These are low-stretch and hard-wearing polyester ropes that can hold up to wear and against UV very well.
If you have a smaller lower performance dinghy like an RS Feva, RS Vision or the older topper with a halyard for a club or centre boat, polyester halyards are hard-wearing and cheaper to replace if they get damaged. Cruising dinghies can have Dyneema halyards but it isn't essential to have them.
Clubs and centres that have dinghies being used but multiple people for training get used most days all year around. The wear on a boat like this will be a lot higher than on a personal boat. Polyester ropes are cheeped and can be harder wearing than more expensive Dyneema ropes.
Great product, safely packaged, delivered on time, at a competitive price. One more thing - the person on the end of the phone is an actual person, informative, helpful, knowledgeable and pleasant. What more could you ask for.
Fantastic price for first class quality
They work well
Fantastic product. Toasty feel
Really good selection of rope sizes, delivered speedily. Great idea to put the offcuts to good use. Caused a few laughs when people realised what I'd ordered ;-)
The sales team were quick responding to our questions, dispatched to us promptly, and the product is a perfect replacement for our old tiller which ended up at the bottom of a lake!
Love the fact they don’t leak.
You do need to squeeze to get liquid out. Which is so much better. Don’t lose liquid etc.
nice size and robust
Great for when it’s not too cold. But is windy and wet. Needing to stay dry on top.
Very easy to install. May need some additional sealing for complete water-tightness.
It was time for me to upgrade to a newer Ilca and it was recommended that I get a Devoti. The price was competitive and the service from Andrew and his team was fantastic. I received lots of communication and the boat was delivered to me within 2 weeks. It is really great that Sailing Chandlery take the time to set up the rigging so that you can get straight on the water. I am very pleased with my new boat and am loving sailing it. Thank you Sailing Chandlery!
Excellent fit for a topaz. Great service on collection.
Perfect
Love this bag. Great wet area within it as well.
Excellent to use as for a birthday gift to family members keen on sailing
Currently 2 weeks into an Eastern Mediterranean trip with these shoes. Grip is great and they drain really well. Comfort is brilliant… as long as you take the right size. I followed the measurement guidelines and they work well. Highly recommend shoe!
