What is the core of a braid?

The core of a braid is the cord inside the sheath that makes it round and reinforced. Separate from the outer sheath, it can be removed by hand. The core can be braided or parallel-laid.

Parallel-laid core: a core made up of aligned strands. Cannot be spliced.
Braided core: a core made up of braided strands. A braid with a braided core is also known as a “double braid.” Can be spliced.
A braid without a core is called “hollow.”

Anti UV treatment

To stay intact in the face of prolonged exposure to the sun, our synthetics are treated to resist UV.

Better resistance to weather

Rain, snow, sea water... Our synthetic ropes are designed to last in the face of moisture and corrosion.

Longer life

The synthetic rope is suitable for long-term decoration of your exterior. You can choose the synthetic hemp rope for a natural effect guaranteed.

Polyester ropes have excellent abrasion resistance, very good knot holding and low elongation.

Polyester rope is water repellent and do not lose their strength when wet. It is non-floating. It is resistant to moisture.

Density: 1.38

Polyester has excellent UV resistance. It is ideal for long-term outdoor exposure.

Polyester fiber is resistant to mites, bacteria, mold, mineral and organic acids, oxidants and diluted alkalis.

It is sensitive to strong alkalis, some phenols, benzyl acetate and nitrobenzene.

The thermal properties of polyester ropes are as follows:

Critical temperature: ± 180°C
Melting temperature: ± 260°C
Smell of hot oil with flame, black smoke
Flame-retardant

Historically, "halyard" is the maritime name for a braided rope generally used to hoist a barge, horn or sail.

A pre-stretched cord has undergone a factory pre-stretch process to greatly limit its elongation during use.

Thermofixing is a pre-stretch performed at 100°C to improve compaction and stabilization of the fibers. This process improves the mechanical properties and life of a rope. It is reserved for high-end ropes for demanding uses.

A halyard is used to hoist a sail to the top of the mast, while a sheet is used to adjust its angle relative to the wind.
It is the sheet that allows you to control the boom and trim the sail to gain or reduce speed.

Dyneema® is the benchmark technical fiber for halyards and sheets. Both very lightweight and extremely strong, it stands out for its near-zero stretch, ensuring precise and consistent trimming over time.
Long reserved for high-performance sailing, it is now widely used on demanding cruising boats. Its higher cost is justified by its performance and durability.

More accessible, polyester is the most commonly used material on cruising boats, valued for its versatility. It performs well under constant load and offers good resistance to UV and seawater. However, it does have some stretch, making it a good compromise between strength, durability, and flexibility.

Polyamide (nylon), a stiffer and more elastic material, is generally reserved for mooring and anchoring lines
