Amsteel Blue (Samson): one
of the first and most notorious single braid /
12-strand Dyneema lines
in the industry. I widely used on high load applications
such as running backstays, headstay tensioners,
vang strops, racing lifelines, where the line needs
to be left exposed to UV and weather elements.
Light and non water absorbent. Best replacement
for wire ropes on board. ...more

trademark of Samson ropes, the Apex offers great
feeling "in the hand" with

and control lines....more

We have used this line for Admiral's Cup mainsheet
systems, Genoa sheets, Spinnaker guys and other

power even if it gets soaked in water. Can be stripped
and tapered. ...more
