Where do you get this? I've seen all-polypro rope, and Spectra with polypro braided exterior, but not Dynema. Only 2 hits on the web for "polypro Dynema rope", neither with substantial information. WARNING: Boatnerd talk ahead - lubbers please avert your eyes. I've been using Samson Ultralight, which is Polypro/Dynema SK-60 and Yale Conception which is Polypro/Dynema SK-75. Conception is single braid which means you can splice it, so I've been using it for split-tail mainsheets. Ultralight is a Dynema core under a polypro cover which makes it a PITA to splice, but it works well for anything that doesn't need splicing. There are other choices as well. You can get them from the usual suppliers, like APS. http://www.apsltd.com/Tree/d3000/e846.asp Plus they work great as thongs and string bikinis for spring [ob]skiing. LOL. Thanks for the info Walt! For whitewater boaters, looks like Yale Conception would make a great throw-rope, while Samson Lite Speed would make a great rescue line. Both are lighter than Spectra rope, and stronger than polypro rope. The Samson Lite Speed actually has higher tensile strength than Spectra of the same diameter. |
