49 different types of dyneema rope in stock at Sailing Chandlery. We stock everything from 2mm through to 10mm and can source dyneema rope of any thickness.
Dyneema® is an UHMwPE (Ultra High Molecular weight Polyethylene) fibre developed by DSM in the Netherlands little over 20 years ago. An ingredient material in many of our ropes, Dyneema® is light weight and renowned as "The World's Strongest FibreTM". So what makes Dyneema® so special?
Dyneema within ropes traditionally comes in two different formats, a 12 strand pure dyneema or as a dyneema core usually covered with a hard wearing polyester jacket. The latter type of rope is great for ropes which are open to lots of wear and cleats as the cover of the rope protects the dyneema from wearing.
Although SK75 used to be the leader in dyneema SK78 has taken over as the standard dyneema issued in most ropes. You will now also see SK99 within high performance ropes which need less stretch and more strength.
Purchase systems are more likely to use a pure 12 strand dyneema as they require more strength and are not cleated, however, the purchase system may contain another piece of rope which goes through the cleat and is pulled for adjustment. This gives you the benefit of the strength and the wear.
12 strand dyneema can also be used for trapeze lines, shrouds and backstays. If you are using dyneema for your shrouds you are going to want a low stretch, high strength option. Some of the dyneema ropes we stock are also heat sealed.
Dyneema core ropes are more popular for control lines and halyards which are constantly adjusted. These ropes can also be tapered down so the hard wearing area of the rope is available for cleats and pulleys but the tapered, thinner dyneema rope, is available to cause less friction around a pulley system. Tapered halyards are popular on high performance dinghies and catamarans.

Perfect for the job!
These were recommended to put on over my Gill dry suit.
Bought a size bigger. We’re a bit tight but getting better, easy to pull on and off with the heel tab. Good soles and grip well on my board. My feet are so much warmer so I can go out most of the year.
Rope offcut easily ordered, as described, and prompt delivery. Good service all round
Delivered very promptly and well packaged, worth the shipping charge to not have to fetch it. Haven't sailed with it yet but have rigged it with the outhaul fittings and everything seems fine.
It is a good buoyancy-aid it has a nice size pocket and is really comfortable to wear. They also have fast delivery and great customer support thanks Jason.
I bought these hoping they be ok as prizes for our Topper Traveller, but was concerned they wouldn’t be robust given the price (in which case the 3 sailors in the family would get them).
I was happy when they arrived. They are more robust than I thought, and super lightweight, but with a grippy palm part. They’ll be great for use in the summer on their own (lighter than neoprene) but robust enough to protect hands, but also good enough to be used as a base layer in the winter.
Happy that we were able to use as prizes.,
It’s stretchy and can tie in knots.
Does the job
It’s blue, has an open bit at the top and holds stuff. Yet to try the dry feature.
Great service, quick turn around for the job.
nice neat job when it arrived. Would not hesitate to recommend to further members at our club. Well done 10 out of 10
I mistakenly ordered the wrong quick release pin for my Laser vang. Sailing Chandlery very kindly agreed to replace for the one I needed. Swapped out very quickly with no fuss.
Just brilliant, exactly what I needed and good quality. Fits perfectly. Fast delivery and usual great service.
Thank you, highly recommended
I use this tape to repair waterproof jackets and it is as strong and waterproof as many other alternatives and much cheaper :)
This cover fits easily over the boat with masts and boom placed on a set of spar holders. There is a neat velco opening to bring out a bowline to secure to the trolley.
A new innovation surprise is having clips on both sides of the cover. You can unclip from whichever side you are on.
Sailing Chandlery have listened to feedback from a previous purchase of the older design. Remains to be seen how it weathers, how breathable and water-proof it all is, but looking v smart from new.
Probably the most comfortable visor I’ve worn. I put it to the test in Dubai last week, it never budged, and wasn’t too tight or hot. The little clip gives added reassurance that you won’t loose it. I’m very pleased with the purchase.
