Standing Rigging
Building on our expertise and more than 10 years of continuous research and development, we've developed a range of sophisticated composite standing rigging products. Augmented by our close partnership with the manufacturers of the most advanced high- tech fibres, as well as input from the world's most talented racing teams, our rigging products are truly innovative. Our composite cables proved their performance and reliability onboard some of the worlds most successful racing boats, including some of the most valuable America’s Cup teams, Open 60’, Volvo 70’ and maxi multihulls.This state-of-the art technology and our comprehensive range of Rigging solutions are available for anyone who desires to benefit from the great performance and weight reductions offered by composite rigging, without compromising reliability.

Undirectional Composite Cable

Built using our proprietary "endless" winding technique, these cables offer incredibly high strength, minimal stretch and amazing weight savings (up to 80% on rod rigging). In development for more than 10 years, this innovative technology involves continuous winding of fibres around two thimbles until a proper cable section has been reached for the specified strength and EA. The end fittings of the cable are thus integrated in the cable itself, making it inherently stronger and safer then other unidirectional cable technologies as it does not rely on bonding or on friction but solely on the unmatched strength of the fibres. Our unique multilayer covering technique offers the best protection from UV light and moisture, while still remaining very light and thin. The outer Dyneema® cover also ensures effective protection from chafe and abrasion. Every aspect of the manufacturing process is carefully controlled to ensure a cable system that provides consistent performance. Any detail, from cable size to end fitting design or cover type, can be customised to fit the specific needs. Our slings can be produced with any high performance fibre: Zylon® PBO, Dyneema® SK78 and Kevlar® 49 are the premium options. They are also available in antitorsion version for use in the luff of furling sails. To complement our production of composite cables, we developed a complete range of end fittings and connectors, which allow our slings to be used for virtually any application onboard: discontinuous standing rigging, continuous standing rigging, fore and aft rigging, structural strops.
