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.
Always fast delivery and a good selection of parts.
A good product efficiently dispatched
The definitive racing watch - my daughter is delighted. Hopefully it will be put to good use in the Uni sailing team. Great service as usual from Sailing Chandlery.
Just the job for mooring warps for my motor canoe. Pleasant to handle and plenty of elasticity. Delivery prompt. Very happy.
Very pleased - strong rowlock at a reasonable price. Prompt delivery.
Quality product. I have used these before, but have learned only recently that replacement O-rings are available. Definitely a bonus!
Delivery was prompt and the goods were well packaged. Very pleased.
Perfect shape for a complicated job and delivery and communications were excellent
The 750ml size is idea for longer outings, particularly in the warmer months. A good quality bottle.
Sturdy well-shaped brim, good stitching. All in all, very good value.
A very robust design with an easy to use valve and attachment ring. It also has a loop to tuck the valve away to stop it snagging on the shroud as it's hoisted which is a nice addition. Overall an excellent float.
Good price, delivered on time.
Great to deal with no problems .
Done quickly
It's sturdy, it's not going to fail like a block. Great for trapeze blocks
