5 - Genoa sheet

Important rope characteristics for a genoa sheet are: low elongation, good grip, and flexibility. Grip end flexibility are particularly important for yachts/ dinghies up to 30 ft, were there is still a lot of manual rope work (vs. winch). Low elongation is required for properly trimming your sail: when wind increases, sail should stay flat. Ropes with Stirotex^® or Dyneema^®cores are in this case recommended. If heat develops on the winches, check out our TN racing with Technora cover.
