Shockcord is used on every single sailing dinghy or catamaran. Whether that be for holding your centreboard up or down to your toe straps up in the air, and a take-up system for your control lines and trapeze line.
Standard Shockcord (Elastic or Bungee) is made up of a braided polyester cover. This is very good for general applications around your boat. When you want the shockcord to be most effective with a purchase or take-up system this can have some issues with the shockcord breaking and chaffing.
Dyneema Shockcord has a braided Dyneema cover that is made from SK75 Dyneema. The Dyneema cover makes the outer jacket more durable and UV resistant and lower friction over standard shockcord making the shockcord and systems run better for longer.
Standard Shockcord gets to a point where it snaps due to only stretching close to the point of use. Dyneema shockcord spreads the load over a larger surface area. This is especially good for trapeze take-up systems. The combination between lower friction and a large area of stretch over the system lowers the chance of breakage and the need to replace it as often.
Dyneema Shockcord is available in 4mm and 5mm
These are the only covers that will stand the high temperatures, humidity and pollution from the near by power station. We are based in Larnaca Cyprus with very long summers. I will highly recommend them. Plus Sailing Chandlery staff are brilliant.
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
