Sailing forever
If you sail a beautiful traditional yacht like this, or a newly designed high speed racing yacht, the benefits of Modern Yacht Rigging are available to all sailors.
If your present stainless steel yacht rigging is more than 7 years old, then invisible wire fatigue is a fear, unseen corrosion builds up in the terminals, its time for replacement!
YOU CAN REPLACE YOUR HEAVY OLD RIGGING WIRES WITH NEW AGE DYNEX DUX, A NEW ROPE THAT IS STRONGER THAN STEEL, YET 6 TIMES LIGHTER.
For the crusing sailor, weight off the rig is simply more seaworthy. The yacht will heel over less, pitch in a seaway will be reduced, it will make a good yacht feel even better
WITH THE HELP OF "SpliceRightRigging" YOU CAN BE SURE THAT THE STRETCH OF THIS NEW ROPE IS LESS THAN WIRE, AND YOU CAN EVEN SPLICE YOUR OWN RIGGING AND SAVE $1,000s
Now For the Racing Sailor, simply faster.
All performance yachtsmen will agree that
"The most special secret of fast sailing... is simply add lightness"
But it gets even more exciting, with these modern ropes..
You add lightness where it really counts, at the top of a mast
You can achieve all of this yourself with confidence using the experience and advice contained in this book.
Even if you don't need a lightweight upgrade now, this little book will give you a fascinating insite into where modern rigging is headed. It will give you a window into the future, as in twenty years time heavy old stainless rigging will be as obsolete as cotton sails! and the new ropes are here now.
An unsolicitated mention by RLW of Boat-Bits blog
A worthwhile read... SpliceRight When making the decision to rig with something other than wire, one quickly learns that there is not a huge body of information available and tracking it down is something of a chore.From downunder SpliceRight is giving away an E-pamphlet (I'm sorry I just can't call a twenty five page offering a book) on using Dynex that is seriously good and includes a rig strain calculator as well as a means of using a Loos rigging gauge for Dynex Dux. If you are considering rigging with Dynex it is a more than worthwhile investment!
The pamphlet is also part of a very well thought out rigging kit which they also sell.
SpiceRightRigging also contains a full case study of the rerigging of a modern 10m sportboat with high mast shaping pretensions, and updates on its performance and the effects of age related creep.

You may also order an excel calculator, as used by professional riggers. This spreadsheet will allow you to compute the rigging strains involved in keeping your mast up. This program is the result of thousands of dollars of skilled programmer time, you can choose metric or imperial units and it is yours absolutely free after you have ordered a SpliceRight spilcing kit.
