Super string.

For the main load bearing parts of16:1 tackles in dinghy controls this is the bees' knees. Can also be used as a zero stretch halyard.

For excellent service.

Great product even better service

Excellent strong rope. Some of the easiest I’ve ever had the pleasure of splicing. Will be using these guys for all my dyneema purchases from here on. Shipping was priced fairly and came next day. Exceptional all round.

Super versatile

I like the fact that this 3mm dyneema is quite a tight braid as it keeps splices neat and tidy. It’s also very strong and I haven’t managed to break any yet when used for halyards or kicker systems.
