* The data are typical values without warranty or guarantee.
The value in daN (1 daN is about 1 kg) indicates the load at which the rope would break. The specified breaking loads are values determined in testing in our laboratory. In practical use, these values may deviate depending on the type of use. The breaking loads were determined for free lengths of rope and will be decreased by splices or knots. When defining a rope's dimensions, we recommend to apply a ratio of working load to breaking load of at least 1:5!
Pre-stretched Polyester rope for a variety of uses - the jack of all trades
When sailing on dinghies what counts are the ropes handling and their breaking strength. In close cooperation with FSE Robline partners from the pro sailing scene, we have developed ropes that stand out due to their performance - at the Olympic Games, World Championships, and national regattas.
8-Plaited Dinghy is used in tackles and tackle blocks. However, it can also be used as a leech line. Its main benefits are its compactness, dimensional stability, and minimal water absorption.
Features
• Lowest stretch and highest breaking strength.
• Good UV-stability.
• Abrasion resistant.
• Low weight.
• Soft.
• resistance to high temperatures.
• Good ability on winches.
• Good in cleats.
• Low water absorption.
• Old part #: 8PLTD-4.
