Product details

Outstanding strength, minimal elongation, extreme durability: the all-rounder at the highest level. Cruise XP: uncompromising halyard and sheet rigging for cruising and regatta sailors. A high-modulus fibre core made of Dyneema® ensures excellent breaking loads with minimal stretch. It absorbs the load, while the polyester fibre sheath provides support and protects the high-quality core from damage. Suitable for all halyard stoppers, sheet cleats and self-tailing winches.

Order your rope conveniently by the metre – or configure it according to your preferences in our rope configurator.

Features:

  • Intermediate sheath made of staple fibres
  • Runs very smoothly on sheaves, even with smaller sheave diameters
  • Universal rope for halyards and sheets
  • Excellent price-performance ratio

Cleaning ropes:

Please note the following when cleaning/washing polyester and Dyneema ropes:

  • Hand wash (SVB recommendation):
    • Place the rope in a large bucket or bathtub and fill with warm water.
    • Clean the rope thoroughly with your hands.
    • Do not use regular washing powder (you can find a possible alternative here).
    • Do not use fabric softener.
    • Then wash the rope with clean water.
  • Washing machine:
    • Only wash rope in a cotton bag.
    • Wash at a maximum of 30 degrees.
    • Do not use regular washing powder (you can find a possible alternative here).
    • Do not use fabric softener.
  • Do not tumble dry the rope.
    • After washing, allow the ropes to drip dry (protected from UV radiation).

which dimension would be suitable for halyard for a 140m2 gennaker ? #557631

Answer from SVB customer service
winfield c. | Aug 25, 2025
User image of winfield c.

Dear Sir, We would recommend you our Art. 55833, the Cruise XP ropes would not be sufficient. Best regards

Answer from SVB customer service
Christian N. | Sep 17, 2025
User image of Christian N.

Dear Pawel , sorry for the wrong information above . The DynOne is not suitable for halyards at all . For your size of gennaker we can recommend the Cruise XP as 10 or even 12 mm diameter . Further different colours you can find with Race XP . This is the same style and quality as Cruise XP .
