All across boat parks we see bowlines and other knots tied in 12 strand dyneema rope. This is most common on purchase systems where sailors know they should be using Dyneema but are unsure on how to splice the rope.
This might seem like the right thing to do but there are a few reasons why you shouldn't do this:
We strongly recommend splicing your lines as standard on your boat. This is because the splice ensures a much higher break load and ensures all of the strands of the rope are utilised in the best direction for ultimate strength.
If you don't know how to splice then don't worry, we offer a splicing service here at Sailing Chandlery.
We came across this video from Mozzy sails which shows exactly how the bowline in dyneema performs in a tug of war.
Bought for my son. He was delighted with it!
I did wonder how I would change the battery on my timer and this kit s the answer !. I race land yachts and do a two minute rolling start which can be rather mad it times so i need that battery !
Fit ok and feels well padded on sole compared to my old worn out boots
Having thoroughly enjoyed a week's training at the Lyme Regis Sea School this phrase is indelibly printed on my sub conscience (the instructors will be pleased to learn) so to have this mug to remind me each morning at breakfast is a treat.
Good quality product worn well first season.
Reliable and delivered on time as stated. Workmanship is very good and the new spinnaker works a treat. Thank you

The Zihk Sailing kit bag is very well-made and much more practical than my rucksack. The ordering process was slick and the delivery was fast. I’m looking forward to my next sailing trip with this product. Good price too, thank you!
