LIROS Racer Facts, Features and Plus Factors:

• Very low stretch < 1.5% at working load
• High load capacity
• Excellent smooth handling
• Non kinking, balanced braiding
• Excellent holding power in cleats and clutches
• Good Grip around winches
• Solid shape retention around winches - firm, compact braid construction doesn't flatten
• Runs freely through blocks and sheaves
• Spliceable - advanced core dependent splice
• LIROS-Heat-Stretch-System*
• LIROS Coating System**

*LIROS-Heat-Stretch-System - unique LIROS pre-stretching process, calibrated under exacting temperature and tension conditions, designed to minimise stretch and enhance performance

**LIROS Coating System - polyurethane impregnation process improves resistance to abrasion and protects against UV damage by up to 50%.

LIROS Manufacturing Consistency:
The LIROS manufacturing process produces a balanced braid on braid construction with consistency second to none.

LIROS Manufacturing excellence is a result of:

• Meticulous attention to exacting standards
• Rigorous quality control
• Decades of experience
• Pro-active design and development team
• Scrupulous fibre resourcing
• Modern spacious factory
• Continuous investment in state of the art, computer programmed twisting and braiding machinery

Jimmy Green Rigging Team Splicing Advisory
The inner traction layer is not load bearing and a certain amount is removed as part of the core dependent splice resulting in a reduced diameter over a short length.
Although it looks thin, the strength of the splice and the rope is not compromised.

The Polyester cover can be permanently removed to produce a cover stripped Dyneema core only loop splice.
Snapshackles can then be retrofitted/changed over, attached using a simple a cow hitch - pass the loop through the eye of the shackle, over the top and back down to the rope end.

LIROS recommend using individual sail area as a benchmark for determining the optimum line diameter for your running rigging application.

The Jimmy Green Rigging Team suggest that there are additional criteria that you may wish to factor in:

• Consider increasing the diameter to make handling more comfortable
• Check the capacity of alll associated fittings e.g. sheaves, blocks and winches
• Assess how hard you intend to work the rigging
• Prepare for the rigours of extended cruising

Each individual line should be capable of comfortably taking the anticipated strain, but it should also run smoothly and freely through your rigging system to avoid disproportionate effort, needless delay and excessive wear and tear.
