    AMERICAS CUP

    redbullextremesailing

    Our long-standing tradition, innovative power and quality were themain criteria that led Red Bull to equip all the boats in the RedBull Youth Americas Cup with ropes made by FSE Robline.

    In addition to our aim of providing customers with globally unique,custom-tailored lines, also our quality, which guarantees top per-formance paired with maximum safety, served as a key factor inthis decision. This vision, combined with steady technologicalinnovation and strong customer allegiance, epitomizes FSERoblines formula for success.

    We developed the Racing.Tool.Box so as to be able to more fullycater to the requests of our customers and offer them state-of-the-art solutions. This instrument allows you to configure yourown perfect rope in the usual high quality and from a largeselection of high-tech cores and covers. The catalog features alltechnical specifications of the cores as well as accurate assess-ments of the characteristics of the covers.

    For even greater fun and pleasure at sailing and in your leisuretime, we developed the FSE Robline App. Geared to your needsas a sailor, it allows you to check what the weather is doing, viewproduct information, and read up on how to make technically cor-rect splices. The heart of the FSE Robline App is the rope selec-tor which helps you find the right lines for your needs in just afew easy steps.

    Whether for regatta racing or recreational sailing, quality, reliabilityand customized solutions are key aspects a maker of yachtingropes absolutely must provide. After all, the ropes constitute afundamental part of a boat. We, the entire team from FSE Robline,go all the way to meet these needs. The following catalog features

    new innovative products, but also several detail upgrades of ourexisting products, and thus clearly reflects our continuous impro-vement drive.

    We are convinced that we are offering you the best possiblesolutions and wish you a wonderful fun-packed all-problems-solved sailing season! Please find more information about allour new products and product features in our new catalog, onour website, or in our FSE Robline App.

    WARNING

    ROPE LENGTH: The rope is measured in consideration of EN ISO 2307 standard

    MATERIAL: The sample shows a 24-braided Polyester-cover with a core of DyneemaSK78.BREAKING LOAD: The detail in daN shows the load under which the rope would part. These loads are values which are appro-

    ved as a result of laboratory testing. Performance in actual conditions may vary. Our sizing recommendationsare based on breaking loads that are five times the working load.

    DIAMETER OF ROPE: Indicated diameter is always the maximum diameter.

    m: Length of rope per spool or coil.

    daN: Is the measure for tractive power. 1 daN is approx. 1 kg, or 2.2 pounds

    WEIGHT PER METER : The figures refer to one meter of rope. The length of the rope can change during use, so figures are based onnew cordage.

    EXPLANATION OF TECHNICAL DATA

    The misuse of ropes can be dangerous. Our products may only beused for the purpose they are designed for. The user is responsible forthe proper application and supervision of the ropes use and assumesthe user is familiar with the necessary safety precautions. We recom-

    mend a splice as end connection for all of our products. For Dyneemaproducts (such as Ocean 3000 for example) a splice is the only optionthat should be used, as knots can come undone under a load.

    WHAT TYPE OF SAILOR AM I?WHAT TYPE OF ROPE DO I NEED?

    Our Racing products are ropes meeting the highestdemands.

    These ropes are made exclusively of high-tech materials andfibers and excel especially due to their high degree of customi-zation allowing them to live up to the highest expectations.

    Our Performance products were developed specifi-cally for competitive regatta racers

    who rely on having the best equipment for the right application.In performance sailing, we all know there is little margin for error.Choosing the right material for its intended application is ourgoal.

    Our success proves us right:based on a wealth of experience, FSE Robline defines the stan-dards for cruisers. In producing Sirius, FSE Robline has - formany years - set the benchmark for Polyester ropes. And toensure that you will always sail with the best ropes, continueddevelopment is the main focus - to make your sailing trips sheerpleasure.

    Whether for sheets or halyards -

    when sailing on dinghies what counts are the ropes handlingand their breaking loads. In close cooperation with our partners

    from the pro sailing scene, we have developed ropes that standout due to their performance - at the Olympic Games, WorldChampionships, and national regattas.

    Yachting ropes made by FSE Robline are being usedall around the globe, and for several good reasons.

    In the case of mooring and anchor lines, special attention ispaid to abrasion resistance, stretch and spliceability. There is nodoubt that all these properties are perfectly combined in ourFSE Robline products.

    DYNEEMA TECHNOLOGY IN COMPARISON

    Highest breaking strength at lowest weight

    The raw material for Dyneemais Polyethylene which is changed on

    a molecular basis and in addition is stretched in one direction.

    These stretched molecule chains increase the breaking load and

    decrease the elongation. Therefore Dyneemahas the lowest

    stretch at break of all synthetic fibers. Dyneemahas a very low

    specific weight and is therefore buoyant. The only disadvantage is

    that it creeps more than some other raw materials.

    This means the fiber will show a permanent elongation under load.

    Dyneemais used as core material in high-tech ropes. The core will

    carry the load whereas the cover is just used for abrasion and light

    protection. Therefore the cover can easily be removed from the rope

    ends without reducing the breaking loads. Dyneemaalso has a

    good abrasion resistance and resistance against sunlight.

    Dyneemais the most widely used high-tech fiber in yachtingropes and can be used for all value-added products: sheets,halyards and trim lines.

    STS STRONGER THAN STEEL

    > HIGHER BREAKING FORCE

    > LOWER CONSTRUCTIONAL ELONGATION

    > LONGER LIFE

    FSE Roblines international team has succeeded in developingan entirely new technology providing special benefit to ourcustomers. It name, STS, stands for stronger than steel.

    In an ideal rope, each of its elements carries an equal share of aload that is applied to the rope. This makes it possible to derivemaximum benefit from the performance potential of the materialsused. Unfortunately, in practical use, it has not been possible tofully exploit this potential. Therefore, in order to further improve theperformance of our products, we have developed an entirely newstretching process.

    Stretching under heat is used to match fiber lengths within thecross-section with one another. This causes the load on the rope tobe distributed evenly to several load-carrying elements. As a result,the breaking force can be increased significantly. What is more,construction-dependent elongation is reduced to a minimum. Theropes cross-section becomes more compact, resulting in an extre-mely robust rope that has a closed structure which is longer living,even without a cover.

    THE CONVENTIONAL ROPE

    Nonuniform fiber lengths in the ropes longitudinal profile

    Molecular chains are not fully oriented in the direction of the force

    Inefficient degree of utilization of the fibers contained in the rope

    ADVANTAGES OF A ROPE INCORPORATING STSTECHNOLOGY

    very high breaking force paired with a small diameter

    low constructional elongation

    long service life due to closed rope structure, even without cover

    stable rope cross-section

    The must-have classic:upgraded with a DyneemaSK78 core

    Its unique structure made up of a polyester cover, a soft intermedi-ate polyester cover (from 10 mm) and a Dyneema SK78 contai-ning core helps avoid any core/cover slippage. During splicing, the

    intermediate cover is removed, which benefits the splicing procedu-re. The core is coated with a protective finish. Therefore, the ropecontinues to be protected even in its stripped condition. Globe5000 is a highly versatile rope that, aboard every performance crui-ser, clearly constitutes an upgrade for many applications.

    WHY TAPERED ROPES?

    Like all of FSE Roblines other products, our range oftapered ropes stands out due to their top performingcharacteristics.

    These include, for example, ultimate abrasion resistance, extra

    low stretch, and the use of high quality raw and finished mate-

    rials obtained from select suppliers. For the new season, we

    have upgraded our entire product portfolio by relying on novel

    materials. This translates into improved handling and an

    attractive design.

    Using our machine-tapered ropes gives you the winning edge:

    professional machine-tapering with even transitions

    reduced weight of the yachting ropes

    strength where it matters

    improved handling

    smaller rope diameters generate less friction in blocks/halyard pulleys, minimizing the required physical effort

    less rope chaos on board

    These benefits might just make the difference for you to claim victory! So there are plenty of reasons why you shouldnever set sail without tapered ropes made by FSE Robline.

    KINDS OF FIBERS

    RAW MATERIALS IN DETAIL

    MONOFILAMENTS

    A few comparably thick fibers ( 0,3 mm) are fed parallel intothe braiding process.

    FSE Robline products:Floating Security Line

    MULTIFILAMENTSMany very thin fibers (0,001 mm) are used as a bundle during

    the braiding process. This construction is the most widely used kind

    of construction in yachting ropes.

    FSE Robline products:Globe 5000, Orion 300/500

    TEXTURED FIBERS

    The fibers do not lie parallel in the bundle but along more or lessrandom paths. Therefore the fibre bundle has a comparably rough

    surface.

    FSE Robline products:Racing Sheet

    DYNEEMA/ SPECTRA

    The raw material for Dyneemais Polyethylene which

    is changed on a molecular basis and in addition is

    stretched in one direction. These stretched molecule chains incre-

    ase the breaking load and decrease the elongation. Therefore

    Dyneemahas the lowest stretch at break of all synthetic fibers.

    Dyneema/ Spectrahas a very low specific weight and is there-

    fore buoyant. The only disadvantage is that it creeps.

    This means the fiber will show a permanent elongation under load.

    Dyneemaand Spectraare used as core material in high-tech

    ropes. The core will carry the load whereas the cover is just usedfor abrasion and light protection. Therefore the cover can easily be

    removed from the rope ends without reducing the breaking loads.

    Dyneemaalso has a good abrasion resistance and resistance

    against sunlight. Dyneema/ Spectrais the most widely used

    high-tech fiber in yachting ropes and can be used for all value-

    added products: sheets, halyards and trim lines.

    Ocean Dyneema

    LIQUID CRYSTAL POLYMER (LCP, VECTRAN)

    LCPs are very complicated and modified chains of Polyester.

    Vectranis a brand name of Hoechst Celanese from the USA.

    Vectranis very expensive and therefore only used in high-tech lines.

    A very low elongation is combined with extremely high breaking

    loads. On the other hand the UV-resistance is not very high. It also

    shows a very high temperature resistance and is not very sensitive

    against bending over sharp edges. The big advantage though of

    Vectranis the absence of creep. Vectranis an absolute high-tech

    fiber and mainly used for competition. The low UV-resistance makes

    a cover necessary that also can not be removed for weight reduction.

    FSE Robline products:Admiral Vectran, Vectran3000, GFL, ...

    PBO (Polybenzoxazoles, Crystal Polymer)

    PBO is a high-tech fibre. It is produced by Toyoba in Japan. It com-

    bines extreme breaking loads, high temperature resistance

    and very low elongation. However, the disadvantage is the low resi-

    stance against sunlight. Therefore PBO can only be used with a

    cover of Polyester. PBO-fibers are used in halyards for racing and

    as backstays, also for Code-Zero-application.

    USEFUL FACTS

    ARAMIDE

    Aramide fibers have an extremely high breaking load and showalmost no elongation. On the other hand they are sensitive against

    sunlight, against bending over sharp edges and against abrasion.

    Aramide only plays a minor role in yachting ropes. The fiber is pro-

    duced by DuPont (Kevlar) and Akzo (Twaron) In the field of yach-

    ting Aramide fibers are mainly used in places where high tempera-

    ture resistance is essential, for example on winches. They are very

    suitable for winches but should not be used on stoppers due to

    their low resistance against bending over sharp edges.

    FSE Robline products:Ocean Dyneema, Leech Line 3000, ...

    POLYESTER (PET)

    PES has good breaking loads and a low elongation. There are bothchemical and physical characteristic advantages like e.g. resistance

    against seawater, good abrasion resistance (in dry conditions as

    well as in wet conditions) and also good resistance against sunlight

    making PET to the most widely used material in yachting ropes. It is

    used as a material in the core for halyards and sheets as well as for

    docking and anchoring lines. In the high-tech range Polyester is

    used as material for the cover. The excellent characteristics of

    Polyester speak for it self. As Polyester sinks it can also be used for

    anchoring lines. For high-tech ropes it is used as a material for the

    cover (protection against UV-radiation) for simple it is also used in

    the core.

    FSE Robline products:Orion 300, Sirius 500, Rio, Rapallo, ...

    POLYAMIDE (PA)Polyamide has a high breaking load as well as high elongation. The

    abrasion resistance of PA is better in wet conditions than in dry

    conditions because it tends to take up water (up to 7%). Kept in

    wet conditions for too long the material can become stiff. Another

    disadvantage compared to Polyester is the comparably lower resi-

    stance against UV-radiation in the sunlight. Therefore PA is increa-

    singly being replaced by Polyester. Polyamide is still widely used for

    docking and mooring lines and for universal applications.

    FSE Robline products: Palermo, ...

    POLYPROPYLENE (PP) = XLF

    Polypropylene is only used for simple applications due to its limitedtechnical characteristics. PP is very light and is even buoyant.

    Abrasion resistance and temperature resistance are sufficient. It is

    typically used for simple docking and mooring lines or for universal

    applications.

    FSE Robline products:Albatros, Cormoran, ...

    PLA YARN

    The PLA Yarn are fiber made from Poly Lactic Acid e.g. corn. There

    is no difference of the technical aspects to regular synthetic fibers,

    PLA fiber products look and feel just like regular synthetic fiber.

    Lactic acid is made out of natural sugar resources, which are in turn

    made by photosynthesis out of CO2in plants. They are biodegrada-ble under a specific industrial process. The material can be regar-

    ded as CO2-neutral and therefore renewable.

    ECO-XLF

    This yarn type is entirely environmentally friendly and decomposes

    under industrial circumstances. A chemical reaction breaks up the

    carbon/carbon bonds, causing a reduction in molecular weight. A

    chemical reaction breaks the carbon-carbon bonds in material lea-

    ding to a lowering of the molecular weight. The degradation pro-

    cess is initiated at the time the yarn is extruded so the yarn will

    totally degrade and disappear in a short timescale. The degradation

    will leave nothing more than water, Carbon Dioxide and a very small

    amount of Biomass. They are biodegradable under industrial

    circumstances.
