Wet Tech Rigging

Introducing Wet Tech Rigging's range of Halyards, Sheets & Splicing Services

Brand new 8mm halyard/sheet constructed from top quality Australian Made International Rope Braid "Falcon Braid" line - custom made to order. Professionally spliced using techniques appropriate for Dyneema-cored ropes.

As a guide, a halyard should be approximately 2.5 times longer than the distance between the deck and the exit point on the mast.
Dyneema is recommended as a mainsail / headsail / staysail / spinnaker halyard on cruising & racing yachts, or as a topping lift on larger yachts.

This is also a perfect spinnaker sheet for yachts up to 10 metres. As a guide, a symmetrical spinnaker sheet should be approximately 2.0 times the length of the boat. An asymmetrical spinnaker sheet should be 2.5 times the length of the boat for inside gybes or 3.0 times the length of the boat for outside gybes.
