FSE Robline Dinghy Star 6mm Blue

Manufacturer part #: DST6

The high-tech line for discerning regatta racers

Dinghy Star's core is composed of Dyneema® SK78 fibers. Its cover consists of a unique Dyneema® SK78/Technora/XLF mix that produces particularly homogenous characteristics. Its unprecedented combination of various raw materials makes Dinghy Star an exceptional product, whether as spi sheet or as halyard.

  Dyneema® core: lowest weight with the highest breaking strength
  
  Polyethylene which is the raw material for Dyneema® is changed on a molecular basis and in addition is stretched in one direction. These stretched molecule chains increase the breaking strength and decrease the elongation. Therefore Dyneema® has the lowest stretch at break of all synthetic fibers. Dyneema® has a very low specific weight and is therefore buoyant. The only disadvantage is that it creeps more than some other raw materials.
  
  This means the cover can easily be removed from the rope ends without reducing the breaking strength due it's fiber shows a permanent elongation under load. Dyneema® is used as core material in high-tech ropes. The core will carry the load whereas the cover is just used for abrasion and light protection. Therefore Dyneema® it has too a good abrasion resistance and resistance against sunlight.
