Maffioli Grand Prix Lines
Maffioli Grand Prix lines are an obvious choice for high performance racing boats, their range of DSK 75, DSK 78 & now DSK 90 cores can be combined with any of their eight jacket systems to produce a high performance rope specific to a particular onboard application, be it sheets, control lines or halyards. Available in a wide range of colours, that can even be customized to your boats colour scheme.
Dyneema SK 90
The very latest in high-tech fibers, the super strong DSK 90 is the result of research and development on the Americas Cup race course. Specifically developed for high end, low stretch yachting ropes to minimize dynamical stretch. 25% higher modulus than Dyneema SK75, 13% Stronger than Dyneema SK75.
Developed for the 2005/2006 Volvo Ocean Race, the single & double braid DSK78 immediately set a new standard in running rigging. Combining the typical high strength to weight ratio, excellent low stretch, abrasion and UV resistance of Dyneema fibres. Three times better creep performance compared to Dyneema SK75, and nearly twice better than SK90 these lines are ideal choice for applications where precision, control and reliability are a must.
· Longer life and better fatigue resistance.
· Winning choice for all those applications subject to high average static loads
Dyneema SK75
SK75 ropes deliver an amazing combination of lightness, durability, tremendous strength ad extremely low stretch. A perfect solution that can fulfil the most specific needs of racers & very demanding sailors.
