Colligo Marine® Dux Lifelines are the strongest and toughest synthetic lifelines available. If the lashings are changed every 2-3 years your lifelines will last least 5-8 years in the tropics.
Colligo Marine can customize synthetic lifelines for boats of any size! Dyneema lifelines are approved for offshore use by United States Sailing and the International Sailing Federation. Line is lighter and easier on the hands (and sails) than wire! If your synthetic lifelines get damaged the weak points are visible and the line gets fuzzy. These lifelines are totally inspectable for your safety!
We use Dynice Dux SK-75 which has similar material stretch to that of stainless steel. 5mm Dux has a breaking strength of 11,000 pounds. It is pre-stretched at elevated temperatures to virtually eliminate constructional stretch. Other advantages include weight savings, DIY flexibility, and no corrosion!
