Product details

The combination of Dyneema® coreSK78 and solid double braid cover ensures a maximum strength and minimum stretch. It has an excellent dimensional stability and excellent abrasion protection.

NEW: An ultra-thin intermediate layer made from high-tech carbonised GripFibre. This eliminates core–sheath displacement while creating additional space for core material, resulting in higher strength at the same diameter.

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


Features:

  • Wire rope-like strength and elongation
  • Be sure to check that fittings are sufficiently secure.
  • Intermediate sheath made of carbonised GripFibre
  • Suitable for stoppers
  • Runs very smoothly on sheaves, even with smaller sheave diameters
  • Universal line: aft halyard, downhaul, barber halyard, spipole uphaul, bull's-eye tackle and Cunningham

Bio-based Dyneema® – Highest performance meets sustainability

Bio-based Dyneema® stands for the complete production of rope fibres under organic conditions. The petroleum component naphtha is replaced by organic naphtha derived from sustainably managed, certified forests, in a strictly controlled mass balancing procedure. Compared to conventional petroleum-based manufacturing, this bio-based alternative significantly reduces the carbon footprint without compromising strength, reliability or durability.

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).

by Ph.R. B. Flag of Netherlands 5/7/2026 Verified purchase Variant: 550152
According to spec very good for my mainsail halyard
Order was delivered as described. The feel is a bit less comfortable than the previous yard from Marlow, which lasted 18 years.
The SK87 has less notably less creep. Splcing requires some special strenth. Good price performance ratio.
We hope it lasts 18 years as well.

Product as described; it matches what was specified in the SVB24 website listing.
Product as described; it matches what was specified in the SVB24 website listing. It is of good quality and I recommend it. The delivery of the order was a bit confusing due to a stock error on SVBs part. Customer service was attentive it was necessary to change the colour of one of the cables in the order, but everything was resolved. SVB shows good customer care and provides a highquality service.

These lines have a Dyneema core. With this I reduce the line thickness of the running goods with the same stability
