Fore and aft cables can be built with the following fibers: K49, pbo, dyneema.

Due to their lighter weight and strength, all these fibers help to improve the performance of the boat.

With our engineers we started to use a new fiber that is probably the best alternative to dyneema.

Great performance in terms of elongation, weight and diameter.

Mainly used on one design classes up to 50 feet.

Applications

High performance cables (high loads)
PBO is one of the fibers
with the highest tensile
strength and a very high resistance to temperature. This fiber resists to temperatures up to 650°C, it is a thermal conductor and stretches very little. Its properties are excellent for special applications.

Applications

Cables & Side rigging

Carbon fiber has got high strength and a low
elongation. Please note
that carbon is an electrical
conductor.
