Here at Dinghy Rope we've just added Dyneema Shockcord to our stock of existing shockcord ropes.
Shockcord elastic made with dyneema has seen an increase of popularity through 2017 and is now being used by a number of sailors for various uses on their boats.
The new dyneema shockcord is made using the same process of normal shockcord but instead of having a polyester outer it's made of dyneema.
Since we had the initial samples in we've been testing the product with William Harrison and his Nacra 15. He has been very impressed with the quality and its break strain, in fact it's saved him and crew Arabella many times where others have lost a race during a capsize or pitchpole. In his case the crew has travelled further than they should but the shockcord hasn't broken it's kept in one piece which has meant they haven't been re rigging trapeze lines like others mid race.
Other sailors are using the shockcord in other take up systems where the shockcord gives more and tends to last longer.
Dyneema shockcord elastic has the following benefits:
We recommend dyneema shockcord for trapeze lines, take up systems and where you need the shockcord to stop stretching earlier.
Dinghy Rope sell dyneema shockcord from Marlow Ropes currently and it's available in 4mm and 5mm diameters.
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
