    The perfect traveler line, great for high load applications

    There are many versions of 'Spectra/Dyneema' line, and it all gets a bit confusing. This 5mm version is low stretch, long lasting, and holds knots well. Like all spectra, the ends are a bit hard to keep under control when you cut and melt the line, so make sure to put some tape over the section you are cutting beforehand. Otherwise, this is a great line for all dinghy applications. Laser travelers and high load applications anywhere. Reviewed by George Yioulos, West Coast Sailing President
