Sailboat rope : racing (Dyneema®)
DSK 78
Gottifredi Maffioli
Endurance is the key factor in ocean racing. That's why we have been the first in the world to develop a range of yachting lines produced with the innovative Dyneema® SK 78 fibre. This material delivers significantly improved stability under static loads, which results in better performance and longer life even under the most extreme conditions. Initially developed for the 2005/2006 Volvo Ocean Race campaign of the Pirates of the Carribean, the single braid DSK78 ULTRA and the double braid DSK78 RACE have immediately set a new standard in running rigging. Combining the typical high strength- to-weight ratio, excellent low stretch, abrasion and UV resistance of Dyneema® fibers, to a 3 times slower creep compared to Dyneema® SK75, these lines are the ideal choice for all those applications where precision, control and reliability are a must.
