The DynaOne is a universal rope braided from high modulus Dyneema® fibres. The single braid construction is easy to splice, has a smooth surface and a very high breaking load. The fibres are UV resistant and can be used without cover on deck and in the rig of sailboats and offshore applications. It is produced out of HMPE, which are super-fibres as they have extremely high breaking loads compared to its weight. DynaOne is regularly used as a replacement for steel wire on boats.
DynaOne is completely made of bio-based Dyneema® SK78 (12 strands coated) fibers, is extremely strong, has low elongation and low weight. The coating ensures UV resistance and better abrasion resistance.

 

For which applications do you recommend DynaOne onboard?

DynaOne is made from 100% Dyneema® fibres and is widely used in the rig and on deck of sailing boats and yachts:

  • Loops spliced from DynaOne - the single braid DynaOne can be spliced into continuous loops of various diameters - works as easy attachments for blocks, thimble or other hardware.
  • Replacement of steel wire - the Dyneema® fibres in the DynaOne are stronger than steel, i.e. they have a greater breaking load and less weight than steel wire of the same diameter. On sailing boats it is easy to replace wire in the running rigging with DynaOne. Examples are halyard leads for genoa and mainsail.
  • Softshackles - very popular with cruisers and racers alike the softshackle made from DynaOne can replace a stainless steel shackle and have the same breaking load. It is usually much lighter in weight and less noisy on the deck.
  • Purchase Systems - it is a clever trick to use DynaOne in purchase systems. The surface of the Dyneema® fibres is very smooth and has very little friction in blocks or thimbles. For clutches a grip cover needs to be spliced on theDynaOne.
  • Running Backstays - Running backstays are fixed high in the mast and a weight reduction from steel to a Dyneema® DynaOne has a big advantage. 
  • Bobstays & Checkstays - Holding down your bowsprit to the hull is done often using Dyneema® ropes like DynaOne. It is easy to splice to the exact length required and very light weight. Its UV resistance allows such a rope to be in use for many years.
  • Emergency replacement for standing rigging - Together with a set of low friction rings it is possible to replace a broken stay our shroud with DynaOne . The DynaOne can be spliced to have the required length and rigged temporarily as replacement. Special terminals for connection of the rope to mast fittings are available from Rigging HK.

What does biobased Dyneema® mean?

Bio-based Dyneema® is made with renewable, bio-based feedstock. This is a new development in fibre technology. This version of Dyneema® reduces the reliance on fossil fuel resources. Bio-based Dyneema® fibre boasts the exact same performance as conventional Dyneema®
For sailors it is possible to reduce their carbon footprint significantly while ensuring equivalent technical features to the conventional HMPE fibres. Bio-based Dyneema® has the lowest carbon footprint per unit of strength compared to other synthetic fibres
