Title: Dyneema Standing Rigging
Post by: USMCR O-5 on August 31, 2022, 10:50:51 AM
Has anyone tried Dyneema lines for standing rigging?  I'm doing a complete refit on my 23/3 and this looks pretty cool.  Apparently stronger than steel and much less expensive.  Thoughts?

I have not but I'd be tempted if I were in replacement mode.  I've used it for some soft shackles, boom down haul and reefing line.  On a 23, seems like eliminating weight aloft would certainly be beneficial as tender as the hull form is. Also, seems like raising and lowering the mast would be easier.   Lots of You tube info by people who have done it.
