There is some misconception about Dyneema and most people think they need it for everything to make them faster on the water. However, this is not the case.
Here are a few cases where polyester ropes are equally as good.
Locking Halyards, A halyard for example on a Tornado or Dart 18 with a metal ring that hooks onto the pin at the top of the mast.
Dyneema is known for its low stretch and creep when cleated. So if you have a locking halyard you don't need Dyneema as polyester rope like an 8 plait pre-stretched or an Evo performance rope is as good. These are low-stretch and hard-wearing polyester ropes that can hold up to wear and against UV very well.
If you have a smaller lower performance dinghy like an RS Feva, RS Vision or the older topper with a halyard for a club or centre boat, polyester halyards are hard-wearing and cheaper to replace if they get damaged. Cruising dinghies can have Dyneema halyards but it isn't essential to have them.
Clubs and centres that have dinghies being used but multiple people for training get used most days all year around. The wear on a boat like this will be a lot higher than on a personal boat. Polyester ropes are cheeped and can be harder wearing than more expensive Dyneema ropes.
Great service
Fast delivery - exactly as per order - many thanks
Nice smooth finish and easy to splice
This is not only comfortable but really roomy. The internal pocket is just right for my laptop and the straps mean that some items can be clipped on the outside. I’ll be using this for years to come!!
Great, exactly what I wanted they seem high quality and dont rust.
Such an easy website to use and the team are great. Fast arrival and brilliant condition. Definitely my go-to for all my sailing needs
Super value for money and delivered super quickly too. We were back on the water racing within no time
It’s really good you can get a spare for this because often you only lose this bit! It’s a much cheaper option and comes quickly.
The wheels were easily fitted to my laser launching trolley using existing washers and retaining clips.
Have been used only a couple of times so far but run smoothly and seem to do the
job fine.
Really pleased with the cover fits perfectly. I knew when it would arrive the company kept me up to date with the process
Good service, no complaints.
Very good tool to get those very tight knots undone
I've tried a number of different types and makes of neoprene boots for Sea Kayaking and these are the best (most comfortable) fit and easiest to get on/off to of all that I have tried, Really pleased with them. The sole is not as thick as it would appear from the photos but seem to be perfectly good for the usual limited shore walking.
Fine just as expected
Good replacement
