Spec – 12 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.) |
