Ropes made from Stirotex® fibres are a great choice for performance sailing and racing regatta’s. It’s popularity amongst sailors is not surprising, since it has very little stretch, is UV-resistant and is also twice as strong as polyester. Moreover, ropes made from Stirotex® fibres offer an unparalleled value for money.
A good cover jacket is sometimes needed for additional protection. For example, for racing yachts a cover of Technora, like our TN-Racing, is recommended to protect the core from excessive heat from friction on winches. Where the line does not wear or is held by hand, it’s fine to remove the cover in order to spare weight (tapering). This works excellent for spinnaker sheets or halyards with Stirotex®. Splicing ropes made with Stirotex® fibres is very easy. A line with Stirotex® fibres gets 95% of its strength out of the core, the cover only serves for protection. So for splicing, the cover is not needed. Stirotex® fibres are often used to replace stainless steel wire. Softshackles, back-stays and loops on board of sailing yachts are good examples.
