Kingfisher Yacht Ropes‘ Racing Dyneema99 Pro Halyard is a step up on the company’s previous product
INDUSTRY DATABASE
Kingfisher Yacht Ropes has a new halyard rope for the 2020 season in the form of the Racing Dyneema99 Pro Halyard.
This represents a step up from the company’s previous product at this level, the Dyneema SK78 Pro Halyard, by being both stronger and lower stretch; vital attributes for racing halyards and key characteristics of the Dyneema SK99 fibre that forms the core of the rope. The Racing Dyneema99 Pro Halyard also features what Kingfisher describes as a new technical hybrid cover made using Kevlar, polyester and Cordura.
This delivers improved holding power in jammers and a high level of abrasion resistance. Despite the increased performance this new product is priced at the same level as the Dyneema SK78 Pro Halyard that it is replacing.
DIY rope maintenance
For those boater owners that like to maintain their own ropes and lines, Kingfisher has also launched two new splicing kits for 2020; a general-purpose splicing kit and a dinghy version. These contain all the essential items needed to undertake splicing on board.
