Braided Dyneema® Leech & Luff Line


Pure braided Dyneema® has very little stretch, excellent strength to weight characteristics, and a very low co-efficient of friction (very important in leech or luff tabling).

It is commonly used in the luff of high performance asymmetrical spinnakers and as a leech line on large grand prix mainsails & spinnakers. 
 

Note to Sail Makers:  When using as a leech line on large mainsails consider securing the end of the leech line to a purchase line of Braided Titan.  This will ensure that the line can be cleated.  (Due to it’s extremely low co-efficient of friction Dyneema® should not be used in cleated applications.)
