Dyneema. First of all Dyneema is a brand name that comes in a wide range of
“models”. The actual material is UHMWPE or Ultra High Molecular Weight

My wire runners and checkstays are still in good shape after 32 years, but I am
changing over to dyneema to reduce weight aloft and reduce chafe on the
mainsail. I'm also making lazy jacks from smaller 1/8" dyneema.
Runners and checkstays can be rigged for singlehanding. Ours are setup with

This more about my thoughts. With masthead rig backstay tightens forestay
but causes major problems with main. Some like cc33 fix with baby stay
This is a collection of the resources, tools, and hardware I used to make
my dyneema stuff. For the lifelines I used 1/4" dyneema and made locked
brummel eye splices supported by thimbles. You have to be able to thread
the rope eye through the stanchions THEN install the thimble. Solid

: Wire vs. Dyneema check stays
I just finished splicing some dyneema for the running backstays for my Baltic
47. I assume that's what you are calling check stays. So yes, I think Dyneema's
a much better option than wire. We use the boat mostly for coastal cruising,
occasional ocean racing
Josh - can you point to any good resources on its use for lifelines?
Thanks, Dave

I'm a huge fan of dyneema. It is relatively cheap and easy to finish
yourself with few if any special tools. I currently have lifelines,
topping lift, various soft shackles and continuous loops made of dyneema.
No problems. I might reconsider using it for standing rigging but
everything else

Do you actually use these? Our frers 33 has check stays and although they help
with main shape we rarely use them due to added complications tacking etc
