Fibre Dinghy Rigging

The Jimmy Green Rigging Team are witnessing a significant increase in the volume of work on Synthetic Fibre Standing and Running Rigging applications for dinghies and sailboats.

Fibre rigging is increasing in popularity and it's easy to see why - less weight aloft increases performance while the extra strength contributes to improved loading safety margins.

The diameter of the fibre rope should be specified by comparing stretch at the working load of the stainless steel it will be replacing. Generally speaking this means the working load should equal approximately 20% of the break load for optimum performance. This may result in the fibre being of greater diameter than the wire it replaces.
