How to find the perfect Dyneema rope for your boat

A few years ago it was still common practice that almost every yacht was equipped with a lot of steel fittings and wire rope on every nook and corner. Modern rigging innovations made by Dyneema can replace all types of hardware on-board, such as running rigging and traditional shackles. In this guide you will find out all about the advantages and the right Dyneema ropes for your boat.

Why Dyneema instead of wire rope and steel fittings? – The advantages of Dyneema rope

TRope is lighter than stainless steel or wire and it also has a higher breaking load in some cases. This is especially true for racing and regatta vessels, which become noticeably faster due to the significant amount of weight saved by using rope-based rigging on-board. A basic maritime rule is that each additional kilogram of rigging must be compensated by about seven kilograms of extra ballast, in order to keep the vessel sturdy. The polyethylene used for the production of Dyneema has extremely long molecular chains, which ensure a very high tensile strength of the material. Dyneema rigging can be up to 5 times the tensile strength of regular polyester rigging and it’s just as strong as steel when it's at the same thickness. Dyneema has the lowest elongation at break in comparison to all other synthetic fibers. Moreover, Dyneema rigging is fairly easy to splice and rig. Another advantage of Dyneema rigging on board of a yacht, is their great degree of buoyancy, seeing as they are lighter than water, and their UV resistance. The only significant disadvantage of Dyneema rigging is their permanent elongation under high stress, which is also called "creeping".

When was Dyneema rope invented?

In the 80’s, the firm DSM invented Dyneema synthetic fibers, which provide extremely strong tensile strength and a very low degree of stretch. This was done by using "Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE)", which is basically material made out of extremely high molar mass and stretched molecular chains.

Why less stretch in running rigging results in greater performance

The special secret of Dyneema is its extremely long molecular chains, which carry load better on their polymer structure. Dyneema rigging can be up to 5 times the tensile strength of regular polyester rigging and it’s just as strong as steel when its at the same thickness. Dyneema has the lowest elongation at break in comparison to all other synthetic fibers. Moreover, Dyneema rigging is fairly easy to splice and rig. Another advantage of Dyneema rigging on board of a yacht, is their great degree of buoyancy, seeing as they are lighter than water. The only significant disadvantage of Dyneema rigging is their permanent elongation under high stress, which is also called "creeping".

Dyneema Rope

What is the role of the core and sheath with Dyneema rope?

Since the invention of Dyneema high-performance rigging, the Dutch company DSM has optimized and changed their fibers several times. The first fiber type was designated as SK 60. The next types were then called: SK 75, 76, 78, 90, 95 and 99. SVB offers Dyneema rigging from the Gleistein brand, based in Bremen, Germany. For use on yachts, braided rigging is almost exclusively used, usually with a core-sheath braid, wherein the core takes the burden of the tensile forces and the outer sheath protects the core. We offer both rigging made out of pure, coated Dyneema fiber, such as Gleistein´s DYNA ONE and rigging with a Dyneema core and polyester sheath.

The Dyneema core reduces stretching on sheets and the sheathing around the Dyneema core ensures that the rigging is held secure on winches, cleats and stoppers. This way, the sheath doesn’t have to bear the load. The specific type of design and braiding is of the most importance in assuring a quality core. Normally, a twelve- or sixteen-fold braid is used for the core. In the case of twelve-fold braiding, individual braids tend to move in the direction of the load, whereas in the case of sixteen-fold braiding - the individual braids entwine less and are contained to a higher degree, considering the given length and thickness of the core fiber material, which reduces the stretching of sheets.

We supply ropes made of pure, coated Dyneema fibre as well as ropes with Dyneema core and polyester sheathing.

Why you should splice Dyneema rope and never knot it

Dyneema rigging should be spliced, not knotted, because knotting Dyneema fiber decreases its breaking load by about 50%, therefore requiring larger dimensions. A properly executed splice ensures that the cable provides the greatest amount of strength with the lowest amount of breaking load loss. Thus, an extra sheath between the core and outer sheath can by applied by our professional splicers in some places, which need to be thicker (for example, parts lying on winches and stoppers). Generally Dyneema rigging can be spliced fairly easily, whether it’s: spliced eye, thimble slice or rope connection . Here is a comparison chart of the strength of Dyneema splices compared to knots with ropes 16mm in diameter.

Tensile strength of spliced vs. burled Dyneema rope

What Dyneema rope is right for high-performance and regatta sailors?

Regatta sailing is a high-performance sport, in which sailors require great stamina, experience and performance. On top of teamwork, the best materials and rigging are also essential. As a regatta sailor, you naturally need running rigging with minimal stretch and the lowest possible top weight. A low degree of stretching is ensured by Dyneema’s fiber core. The outer sheath should also provide the best possible grip in the fittings as well. In order to save even more weight, we offer our regatta sailors with the TAPERTWIN, by Gleistein. This type of rigging is constructed out of pure Dyneema 12x braid, with a special coating and without a sheath. DYNA ONE provides the strength and breaking load of a wire rope at one-eighth the size. Especially when used as a control, trim or steering line, it comes as a great advantage aboard racing and regatta yachts. By not having a sheath, not only is a lot of unnecessary weight spared, but it also runs smoother through blocks and diversions as well.

Which Dyneema rope for cruising and ocean-going sailors?

WIf you’re a cruising or offshore sailor and you sail for several days or even weeks at a time in high winds and rough seas, the demands on your running rigging increase. Your halyards and sheets must be able to bear extreme loads, due to the fact that your washers, stoppers and winches may cause abrasion and the long-term expansion of your running rigging may also cause increased wear. Here we advise you to use halyards and sheets with pure Dyneema core with 12-braids, such as CRUISE XP, developed by Gleistein. This type of rigging guarantees sufficient tension on your halyards over a longer period of time and they are available in different colors and levels of thicknesses, which also offer the end-user with an optimal price to performance ratio as well.

Which Dyneema rope for weekend & recreational sailors?

Finding out which type of Dyneema rigging suits you and your yacht the best is decided by your sailing habits. For weekend and recreational sailors, the classic „CUP“ or "HARKON" or rigging solutions without Dyneema fiber can be used, since this type of sailing doesn’t require expensive or high-performance rigging.

Select to expand quote rumblefish said.. Allyacht Spars. Biggest rig manufacturers in the country Phone them on 38932233 and ask for Joel. You will find him very helpful and their prices very competitive. Lambourne Rigging might be worth a try but I feel his prices are very high.

SeaDragon330

Need to replace mine also. Will they come a do in situ or is it heaps cheaper to take pieces to them to copy?

QLD, 92 posts

I have had a good run with AllYacht , both on quality and price

Thanks fellas. I might get the mobile guys to do the three main stays and take off the mast stays myself and get them done bit by bit

Dynice Dux or SK75

Dynice dux (annealed dyneema).

• Strength for Diameter
• Strength to Weight
• Stretch/Elasticity
• Creep (elongation over time)
• Abrasion resistance
• UV resistance

Dynice DUX has the best scores on ALL of the above qualities when compared to other high tech fibers.

If you anneal (cook while stretching) Dyneema, you make Dynice DUX. The strength goes up by 30-40% (depending on line size) and the stretch and creep drop to almost nothing. The line still has the same great UV and abrasion resistance as Dyneema, but now you have as low stretch and high strength as PBO. The line is also lighter and it doesn’t absorb water, as compared to Vectran. The other positive about Dynice DUX is that it is only slightly more expensive than Vectran or Dyneema, vs. PBO which is incredibly expensive.

The only downside to Dynice DUX is that it is quite stiff when new, and will take a few days of sailing to soften up.

Uses for DUX include: Halyards, sheets, afterguys, outhauls, strops, standing rigging and any other low stretch/high strength applications.

Dynice DUX really is the new “Super Rope.”

What our clients are saying

From the early design stages of the project, right through to sea trials, delivery and service, Andy Kitchener has always been on hand to provide valuable and specialist support to help us make the right design decisions and get the right results for our project. We have worked with Andy for many years, and consider him to be among the very best in the business.

Gregory Monks Owner's Rep, S/Y Sarissa

In 2005 Andrew was employed by Marten Spars to dress, step and tune the rig aboard Adele. This was undertaken in freezing conditions and ankle-deep in snow but despite this, Andrew accomplished the task on time and with quite good humour. I was, and remain, extremely impressed with the quality and quantity of Andrews work. He gives 100% commitment to each job - when he couldn't find a flight from Spain to Sweden to attend the vessel for a rig tune, he hopped in a car and drove to Sweden. This exemplifies the man and his ethic!

Andre Engblom Captain - S/Y Adele

7C Rigging have been responsible for all of our service work relating to the mast, running rigging and often the standing rigging on board the 46m carbon sloop Pink Gin for many years. It has always been a pleasure to work with such a knowledgeable and dedicated team who often go beyond the norm to ensure that deadlines are met and importantly that expenditure is kept within budget. I would not hesitate to recommend them and indeed look forward to seeing them on board again soon.

Henry Hawkins Captain - S/Y Pink Gin

Andrew and Nancy Kitchener of 7C Rigging have been involved with the Sarissa program from build. Sarissa is a full carbon 42.6m performance sloop, and was launched by Vitters Shipyard in 2011 with a Southern Spar rig package including full continuous ECsix rigging. I have had the pleasure of working with Andrew Kitchener for many years, and so I was delighted to have Andrew and his team handle the new-build project in Holland. With a wealth of experience specialising in large yacht spar packages, Andrew is always our first point of call for any rig related project on Sarissa. I can wholeheartedly recommend 7C Rigging for any large sailing yacht rigging project. From new builds to quality repairs and refits, 7C Rigging should be your first point of call.
