FGR 1

High Performance Dyneema!

FGR 1

Supplied exclusively to The Rig Shop, FGR 1 represents the state of the art technology in rope construction for performance yachts.

Dyneema, the new and super-strong yarns are used for the core in a triple braid configuration. This gives very high strength ideal for halyards, sheets and runner tails. Stretch and creep is minimised by pre-stretching and heat-setting the FGR 1 Dyneema, making it particularly suitable for halyards with high load applications. Improved load extension figures also ensure that rig settings can be accurately reproduced, especially important for sail setting. Core slippage is virtually eliminated with the addition of a lightweight polypropylene inner braid, P.U. coated for additional friction.

FGR 1 has a high tenacity braided polyester outer cover, which resists abrasion, but still has soft handling qualities, making it ideal for use on winches, around blocks and in stoppers. FGR 1 is only available from The Rig Shop, along with other specialised ropes for performance racing and cruising. A comprehensive range of exclusive colours is available for this performance rope.
