We Replaced ALL Our Standing Rigging with Dyneema!!! Measuring, Splicing, and Stretching.

The Tula Shop - http://tulasendlesssummer.com/shop-tula/ We replaced all our standing rigging on our sailing catamaran with a type of synthetic line called Dyneema Dux. Dux is dyneema that has been pre- heat stretched to take all of the initial stretch out of the line. 9mm Dux has less stretch than the 8mm SS wire it replaced and more than 2.5 times the breaking strength.
