We’re with you when performance is everything.

The sport of sailing demands ever-improving innovations in sails and rigging in order to set new limits of speed—and reflect  the highest standards of discerning yacht owners.

In such a select and intimate global community of racers, luxury vessel owners, rope, rigging, and sail manufacturers—and the fans who support them—Dyneema® enjoys a solid reputation as the materials leader. For fellow innovators in sailing technology, DSM Dyneema has also proven to be a smart and generous business partner.

Whether it’s in Olympic competition, open-ocean racing, or simply bringing world-class reliability to weekend sailors, Dyneema® delivers benefits in strength, low-stretch handling, and weight-reduction that keep our customers returning year after year.

We are “with you when it matters” in evolving the sport of sailing:

Ropes and rigging.

Lines made with Dyneema® are incredibly light, strong, smooth, and exceptionally easy to handle. It’s no wonder, then, that the world’s top sailing teams insist on ropes made with Dyneema® when victory is measured in fractions of a second. These finely-calibrated lines provide the highest levels of precision when setting sheets and halyards. Materials like SK78 and the new SK90 are improving serious racers’ ability to achieve new speed records in style. Additionally, the durability of the material pays off in cost—and environmental—savings.

Sailcloth

Delivering the perfect balance of strength and weight, Dyneema® fiber is the ideal material for today’s revolutionary new sail designs. With low stretch characteristics that let sails retain an optimal shape and a pure white appearance that’s resistant to abrasion, as well as chemicals, salt and UV rays. And that’s why  the sails’ useful service life exceeds that of other materials—exponentially.
