Here at Dinghy Rope we've just added Dyneema Shockcord to our stock of existing shockcord ropes.
Shockcord elastic made with dyneema has seen an increase of popularity through 2017 and is now being used by a number of sailors for various uses on their boats.
The new dyneema shockcord is made using the same process of normal shockcord but instead of having a polyester outer it's made of dyneema.
Since we had the initial samples in we've been testing the product with William Harrison and his Nacra 15. He has been very impressed with the quality and its break strain, in fact it's saved him and crew Arabella many times where others have lost a race during a capsize or pitchpole. In his case the crew has travelled further than they should but the shockcord hasn't broken it's kept in one piece which has meant they haven't been re rigging trapeze lines like others mid race.
Other sailors are using the shockcord in other take up systems where the shockcord gives more and tends to last longer.
Dyneema shockcord elastic has the following benefits:
We recommend dyneema shockcord for trapeze lines, take up systems and where you need the shockcord to stop stretching earlier.
Dinghy Rope sell dyneema shockcord from Marlow Ropes currently and it's available in 4mm and 5mm diameters.
Nearly 40 years on from my first "Laser" I have just taken delivery of my second - a Devoti Ilca 7. Buying this new ILCA has been a 5 star experience, and dealing with Andrew, Jason and Steve at Sailing Chandlery have all been great - candid advice, all the help and assistance I could have wished for. And to cap it all Steve delivered the new Devoti to my home address - 5 hours away, and up in the hills, not easy to get to - and what's more Steve then stayed to help me sort out the rigging - all very different from what I remember. When I last sailed a Laser you had to lean on the boom to put on more kicker. I'm very happy to give the team at Sailing Chandlery a fulsome recommendation.
quick and easy to deal with prompt delivery on order will use again
We ordered a 100m reel of sheet rope for our sailing club's training fleet of Toppers and Fevas. It runs through the blocks very easily and is great to hold. The children on the courses love it!
Great little piece of kit, use it for giving me an idea of wind direction in the marina on my narrowboat!!
Great harness, really comfortable, looks to be good quality and well made.
Great service from Sailing Chandlery.
Delivery was super quick after bank holiday, and product is just as described. Super convenient pockets inside a comfy backpack kitbag so great and practical for walking to/from dinghy parks
Just a small item, a bung! The super quick delivery got me back on the water. Thank you.
Good rope for low load jobs - easy to splice, smooth and flexible.
Perfectly layed out numbers
WIP have really pulled out all the stops on this impact vest to suit all forms of hi-performance watersports. Feels great on, good snug fit - no restrictions to movement and doesn't impact on trapezing like a lot of buoyancy aids. A very well made, high quality vest that has everything you need to keep you safe on the water.
Purchased for my old Albacore sailing dinghy. This is a well made quality cover with straps and clips that look like they’ll last many years. I no longer have to bail out the boat before sailing!
Found the staff at Sailing Chandlery most helpful to a no-yachtsman with flags to fly to cheer the day.
It may seem strange but my husband purchased this item as he was making me some wooden bunting for our outside space. The range of colours was fab and the rope is ideal for our needs.
