Vectran ® cored version of Excel Racing offers zero creep. Great for high load applications where zero elongation is required.

This lightweight sheet has super low water absorption and floats – excellent cruising spinnaker sheet.

Tried and tested option for cruising halyards and control lines. Knobbly 8 Plait construction provides good grip in the hands and in cleats and is great rope for control lines where grip and low stretch are needed. Great abrasion resistance makes this a firm favorite for many years.

DYNEEMA ® COVER | RUBBER CORES DIAMETER: 3-10mm

First quality, high elasticity, natural rubber provides a minimum 100% stretch with constant elongation characteristics. Polyester cover is tough and UV resistant offering good abrasion resistance and a great range of standard colours.

Offers all the benefits of the standard shockcord, however the Dyneema ® cover offers greater durability with increased abrasion resistance and lower friction.
