The sheet for the Volvo Ocean Race

Ocean Dyneema^® benefits from the high heat resistance of Aramid fibers, using them for a novel type of braided sheathing. As a consequence, this sheet is used mainly on large winches where high temperatures are encountered, for instance when securing on back stay winches.

Technical Data

The 32-plait sheathing 50% of which are made up of Aramid and 50% of polyester (PES), is highly resistant to abrasion and heat. For the core, Dyneema^® SK75 is braided into a 16-plait core. Low stretch, high breaking loads, and good spliceability are the result.
