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.

Recently bought these as a birthday present for my dad. Order arrived super speedy (even with a treat of love hearts in it). The fit and quality is great, he really loved them
Great service
The wheels are exactly what I ordered. Delivery was immediate from the store and they arrived exactly when promised. 100% - job well done!
Excellent fast service from this company. Very good price for the Parka & free shipping. As a Motorhome & dog owner I bought the Parka to use when these activities frequently get cold & wet! I haven't had cause to use it yet. I've tried it on & it's just what I needed. It's a good long length (I'm 5ft 8") & does away with the need for waterproof trousers. Very handy zipped pockets & I like the fact that you can tighten up the wrist cuffs. I'm very pleased with my purchase & would certainly recommend Sailing Chandlery. Thank you.
Good quality product and easy to fit.
Not used yet but known it will be perfect. Excellent customer service from sailing chandlery as usual.
Great service and a great price. Order delivered in a timely manner.
Would definitely recommend and use again, the next time something on the boat inevitably breaks :)
I had a difficult repair, with a part of the sail that har ripped off. I used the tape to cover a large darn, taped it on both sides, and oversewed it for additional security. Easy to use, decent adhesion, probably no need to oversew.
This is exactly what I wanted. It’s super easy to charge, it’s convenient to store and carry but most importantly, it’s incredibly loud!!
A very reliable cleat Will not accidentally re-cleat.
It’s great- love it for my open water swimming.
Fits everything in.
Super fast delivery and friendly
Sticky back peels off easily and glue seems strong. Quite possibly this is the same product as supplied in the pre-cut kits for the ILCA mast bottom sections?
Makes a lot of sense to use sacrificial strips to slow down wear on the mast and gel coat.
Better value to buy several meters of this one and with care and a sharp blade you can cut desired lengths by wrapping around the mast and cutting neatly.
Replacement laser block arrived very quickly. Part was exactly the same as the original and I was back on the water without missing a weekend. Great service.
Very good quality cover, should protect my granddaughter’s boat for many seasons to come, thanks.
This looks more like a proper hold all.
