LIROS D-Pro Static Article 01504 Construction and Specification:
LIROS D-Pro Static is an innovative synthetic fibre line making composite rigging more accessible to the cruising yachtsman.
For wire replacement, D-Pro Staic must be specified by matching the stretch of the fibre line to the working stretch of the stainless steel wire it will be replacing.
Fibre rigging will therefore be a larger diameter than the wire it replaces, but it will still save considerable weight onboard and aloft in the rigging.
By matching the stretch factor, the replacement fibre rigging will be anywhere between 2 and 5 times stronger than the stainless steel wire that it replaces.A synthetic rig should never be specified by matching the breaking strain of the fibre to the wire that it replaces because this will result in too much stretch.
