LIFELINE
LIFELINE •Visible at night •Stronger than quality steel •Safety on board

Cover:
For retro-reflective lifeline: 24-plait Dyneema® SK75 coated braid, with 2 retro-reflective threads
For non retro-reflective lifeline: 24-plait Dyneema® SK75 coated braid
Core: 12-plait Dyneema® SK78 coated and pre-stretched braid
Characteristics:
This lifeline with Dyneema® offers maximum strength at minimum weight. Stronger than quality steel and so light, it floats on water. Extremely durable, this rope resists to moisture, UV light and chemicals.
The retro-reflective markers make this lifeline very visible at night so people on board can easily see their safety zone, resulting in less accidents. Dyneema® is 15 times stronger than steel on a weight- for-weight basis. These lifelines provide a significant benefit compared to conventional heavy weight steel wire lifelines.
In addition, the weight reduction improves the performance of the boat which is especially important for racing yachts
