Specifications and Rope Types
The document details various ropes used in yachting, such as MegaTwin Dyneema® HS and Dyna Lite, with specific applications and recommendations for different yacht rope markets.
Load and Elongation Characteristics
Load-elongation curves are presented, showing rope performance under stress. A formula for calculating breaking load based on sail surface and wind velocity is provided, with a note that actual requirements may vary.
Spliced vs. Knotted Rope Strength
Professionally executed splices maintain a higher percentage of the rope's linear break load compared to knots, which can reduce strength by over 50%.
Performance and Durability
The document highlights the flexibility, strength, and durability of ropes under racing conditions, using materials like Dyneema® SK 99 and Technora® for enhanced performance and heat resistance.
Technical Data and Recommendations
Technical specifications are provided for various rope diameters, including weight per 100 meters and both spliced and linear break loads, with recommendations for market applications focusing on performance characteristics like elongation at 10% of breaking load.
Technical Specifications Overview
  • GeoOne® Hempex: A buoyant braided line with a hemp-like appearance, offering durability and UV resistance.
  • VectraOne: Offers wire rope-like performance with no creep under load, ideal for static loads.
  • Caribic Color: Made with Dyneema® fibres, known for extreme strength and wire rope-like elongation.
  • Ester Color: A durable braided line with high strength and low elongation, excellent abrasion and UV resistance.
  • GeoOne® Polyester: Robust braided line with high strength and low elongation.
  • GeoOne® GeoProp: Economical braided line, buoyant and easily retrievable from water.
  • GeoOne® Polyamide: High-quality braided line with high elongation and strength.
  • GeoLink: Textile shackle made from DynaOne® (100% Dyneema® SK78), offering high break load and low weight.
  • BolTwin: High-end luff line for large laminated sails, offering extreme dimensional stability.
Performance and Durability Highlights
Most lines offer high strength and low elongation, with specific products providing wire rope-like performance. Durability features include abrasion resistance, UV protection, and non-hardening properties.
Market Recommendations
Products are recommended for various markets, emphasizing universal applicability and specific niche capabilities. GeoLink and GeoPacks are highlighted for ease of use and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional metal counterparts.
Safety Instructions for Man-Made Fibre Ropes
General Warnings:
  • Never stand within rope loops.
  • Ropes under tension pose significant risks; ensure no one is near a rope under strain.
  • Overloaded ropes can break suddenly, releasing stored energy and causing injuries.
  • Ensure rope ends are securely fastened.
  • Improper use of ropes shortens their lifespan and endangers users.
Specifications and Conditions:
  • Break load values are measured under laboratory conditions; usage and weathering reduce break load.
  • Weight is measured according to EN 919:1995; weather conditions can cause weight variations.
  • No liability is accepted for improper use of the product.
Usage Guidelines:
  • Inspect ropes for good condition before use.
  • Suggested rope sizes should not exceed 1/5 of the rope's break load.
  • Avoid dragging ropes over sharp edges and exposure to heat or chemicals.
  • Properly coil, reel, and stow ropes to prevent kinks or bends.
Damage and Inspection:
  • External wear: Severely worn strands indicate the rope should not be used.
  • Local abrasion: Damage from sharp edges can significantly reduce strength.
  • Internal wear: Detected by loosening strands and powdered fibre presence.
  • Overloading: Difficult to detect; tensile tests are recommended.
  • Chemical and heat attack: Indicated by staining or glazing; affected ropes must be replaced.
Maintenance and Safety Tips:
  • Regular inspections can extend rope life through proper repair and protection.
  • Cut out damaged sections and ensure splices are properly served or taped.
  • Store ropes in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.
  • Use stoppers on the double and avoid rope abuse to ensure safety.
