FSE Robline Goes

aMericas cUp
Our long-standing tradition, innovative power and quality were the main criteria that led Red Bull to equip all the boats in the Red Bull Youth Americas Cup with ropes made by FSE Robline. In addition to our aim of providing customers with globally unique, custom-tailored lines, also our quality, which guarantees top performance paired with maximum safety, served as a key factor in this decision. This vision, combined with steady technological innovation and strong customer allegiance, epitomizes FSE Roblines formula for success. We developed the Racing.Tool.Box so as to be able to more fully cater to the requests of our customers and offer them state-ofthe-art solutions. This instrument allows you to configure your own perfect rope in the usual high quality and from a large selection of high-tech cores and covers. The catalog features all technical specifications of the cores as well as accurate assessments of the characteristics of the covers.

WARNING
The misuse of ropes can be dangerous. Our products may only be used for the purpose they are designed for. The user is responsible for the proper application and supervision of the ropes use and assumes the user is familiar with the necessary safety precautions. We recommend a splice as end connection for all of our products. For Dyneema products (such as Ocean 3000 for example) a splice is the only option that should be used, as knots can come undone under a load.

ROPE GUIDE

Our Racing products are ropes meeting the highest demands.

These ropes are made exclusively of high-tech materials and fibers and excel especially due to their high degree of customization allowing them to live up to the highest expectations.

> > > > >

Our Performance products were developed specifically for competitive regatta racers
who rely on having the best equipment for the right application. In performance sailing, we all know there is little margin for error. Choosing the right material for its intended application is our goal.

Our success proves us right:

based on a wealth of experience, FSE Robline defines the standards for cruisers. In producing Sirius, FSE Robline has - for many years - set the benchmark for Polyester ropes. And to ensure that you will always sail with the best ropes, continued development is the main focus - to make your sailing trips sheer pleasure.

Whether for sheets or halyards when sailing on dinghies what counts are the ropes handling and their breaking loads. In close cooperation with our partners from the pro sailing scene, we have developed ropes that stand out due to their performance - at the Olympic Games, World Championships, and national regattas.

Yachting ropes made by FSE Robline are being used all around the globe, and for several good reasons.
In the case of mooring and anchor lines, special attention is paid to abrasion resistance, stretch and spliceability. There is no doubt that all these properties are perfectly combined in our FSE Robline products.

DYNEEMA

Technology
This means the fiber will show a permanent elongation under load. Dyneema is used as core material in high-tech ropes. The core will carry the load whereas the cover is just used for abrasion and light protection. Therefore the cover can easily be removed from the rope ends without reducing the breaking loads. Dyneema also has a good abrasion resistance and resistance against sunlight.

Highest breaking strength at lowest weight

The raw material for Dyneema is Polyethylene which is changed on a molecular basis and in addition is stretched in one direction. These stretched molecule chains increase the breaking load and decrease the elongation. Therefore Dyneema has the lowest stretch at break of all synthetic fibers. Dyneema has a very low specific weight and is therefore buoyant. The only disadvantage is that it creeps more than some other raw materials.

FSE Robline prodUcts

Dyneema is the most widely used high-tech fiber in yachting ropes and can be used for all value-added products: sheets, halyards and trim lines. PRODUcts: Ocean 3000XG/4000, Admiral 7000/5000/3000, Globe 5000/3000, Dinghy Control, Tapered Dyneema Dinghy Star Pro, Dinghy Star, Coppa 3000 and a lot more

AdVantages of a rope incorporating STS technology

> Higher breaKing force > Lower constructional elongation > Longer life
FSE Roblines international team has succeeded in developing an entirely new technology providing special benefit to our customers. It name, STS, stands for stronger than steel. In an ideal rope, each of its elements carries an equal share of a load that is applied to the rope. This makes it possible to derive maximum benefit from the performance potential of the materials used. Unfortunately, in practical use, it has not been possible to fully exploit this potential. Therefore, in order to further improve the performance of our products, we have developed an entirely new stretching process. Stretching under heat is used to match fiber lengths within the cross-section with one another. This causes the load on the rope to be distributed evenly to several load-carrying elements. As a result, the breaking force can be increased significantly. What is more, construction-dependent elongation is reduced to a minimum. The ropes cross-section becomes more compact, resulting in an extremely robust rope that has a closed structure which is longer living, even without a cover.

HANS PETER STEINACHER

Currently, I work: mainly as a pro sailor. As a sideline, I produce carbon masts and sail battens, and as a second sideline I am the managing director of HP Steinacher GesmbH und Steinacher GmbH (real estate management). My favorite hobbies and pastimes are: ice hockey and ski-touring in winter, mountain-biking in summer, and recreational sailing on Lake Zell with my family. How did you get into sailing? A friend let me use his laser free of charge.

What do you like most about sailing? To harness the forces of nature and put them to use in the best possible way. Why have you chosen FSE Robline ropes? Primarily because of their quality, because it is impossible to keep checking everything in the boat. You can trust them blindfolded. What makes FSE Robline ropes so special? They are innovative, durable, and safe. What is important to you when it comes to Racing lines? That signs of wear appear gradually and not abruptly; low weight, and grip to the very end.

What was your best sailing experience? The Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. Which is your favorite FSE Robline product? The Ocean 7000 What are the three things that you would take with you to a deserted island? I have a wonderful wife and two kids whom I wouldnt want to miss for the world. In 20 years, I will: hopefully be able to say that I have had an awesome life, so far. I would like to spend a day with celebrity: Phil Collins

Its unique structure made up of a polyester cover, a soft intermediate polyester cover (from 10 mm) and a Dyneema SK78 containing core helps avoid any core/cover slippage. During splicing, the intermediate cover is removed, which benefits the splicing procedure. The core is coated with a protective finish.

The technical features of the Buoy Mooring Line give it a decisive edge over conventional anchor chains. Provided with a special coating, Buoy Mooring Line is unsusceptible to algae and mollusk growth.

BONIFACIO WINCH

white

Anchoring without a bow roller - all-out innovation

Developed for use with anchor winches, Bonifacio Winch features a leaden core that runs along the entire length of the rope. This design permits horizontal dragging of the anchor, enhances its retention power, and also dampens the boats movements. Its spliced-in stainless-steel thimble permits quick fastening of the anchor. Delivered in a practical storage bucket, it is easy to stow aboard your vessel. When making Bonifacio Winch, great importance was attached to the use of premium quality materials for both cover and intermediate cover. PES fibers keep the Polyurethane-coated core from slipping out. This way, the rope is protected against corrosion, and the environment is protected, as well.

POSEIDON

Additional lengths: 10 mm 30 m, 12 mm 30 m, 14 mm 30 m, 16 mm 40 m

Leaded anchor rope meeting highest demands

In the case of Poseidon, lead inserts are integrated into the core over one third of its total length, making it easier to drag the anchor horizontally and to enhance its retention power. In addition, the rope becomes easier to lift. Poseidon is delivered in a bag with a splicedin stainless steel thimble. A high quality PES cover made of a 16-plait weave as well as an intermediate cover also consisting of PES keep the lead insert from slipping out from the rope. A Polyurethane coating affords additional protection on the insert.

KINDS OF FIBERS
MONOFILAMENTS
A few comparably thick fibers ( 0,3 mm) are fed parallel into the braiding process. FSE Robline products: Floating Security Line

TeXtured fibeRs
The fibers do not lie parallel in the bundle but along more or less random paths. Therefore the fibre bundle has a comparably rough surface. FSE Robline products: Racing Sheet

MULTIFILAMENTS
Many very thin fibers (0,001 mm) are used as a bundle during the braiding process. This construction is the most widely used kind of construction in yachting ropes. FSE Robline products: Globe 5000, Orion 300/500

RAW MATERIALS IN DETAIL

DYNEEMA / SPECTRA
The raw material for Dyneema is Polyethylene which is changed on a molecular basis and in addition is stretched in one direction. These stretched molecule chains increase the breaking load and decrease the elongation. Therefore Dyneema has the lowest stretch at break of all synthetic fibers. Dyneema / Spectra has a very low specific weight and is therefore buoyant. The only disadvantage is that it creeps. This means the fiber will show a permanent elongation under load. Dyneema and Spectra are used as core material in high-tech ropes. The core will carry the load whereas the cover is just used for abrasion and light protection. Therefore the cover can easily be removed from the rope ends without reducing the breaking loads. Dyneema also has a good abrasion resistance and resistance against sunlight. Dyneema / Spectra is the most widely used high-tech fiber in yachting ropes and can be used for all valueadded products: sheets, halyards and trim lines. FSE Robline products: Ocean 3000 XG, Admiral 7000/5000/3000, Globe 5000/3000/1000, Dinghy Control, Tapered Sheet 3000, Ocean Dyneema

LIQUID CRYSTAL POLYMER (LCP, VECTRAN)

LCPs are very complicated and modified chains of Polyester. Vectran is a brand name of Hoechst Celanese from the USA. Vectran is very expensive and therefore only used in high-tech lines. A very low elongation is combined with extremely high breaking loads. On the other hand the UV-resistance is not very high. It also shows a very high temperature resistance and is not very sensitive against bending over sharp edges. The big advantage though of Vectran is the absence of creep. Vectran is an absolute high-tech fiber and mainly used for competition. The low UV-resistance makes a cover necessary that also can not be removed for weight reduction. FSE Robline products: Admiral Vectran, Vectran 3000, GFL, ...

PBO (Polybenzoxazoles, Crystal Polymer)

PBO is a high-tech fibre. It is produced by Toyoba in Japan. It combines extreme breaking loads, high temperature resistance and very low elongation. However, the disadvantage is the low resistance against sunlight. Therefore PBO can only be used with a cover of Polyester. PBO-fibers are used in halyards for racing and as backstays, also for Code-Zero-application. FSE Robline products: Admiral PBO

USEFUL FACTS

Aramide
Aramide fibers have an extremely high breaking load and show almost no elongation. On the other hand they are sensitive against sunlight, against bending over sharp edges and against abrasion. Aramide only plays a minor role in yachting ropes. The fiber is produced by DuPont (Kevlar) and Akzo (Twaron) In the field of yachting Aramide fibers are mainly used in places where high temperature resistance is essential, for example on winches. They are very suitable for winches but should not be used on stoppers due to their low resistance against bending over sharp edges. FSE Robline products: Ocean Dyneema, Leech Line 3000, ...

POLYPROPYLENE (PP) = XLF

Polypropylene is only used for simple applications due to its limited technical characteristics. PP is very light and is even buoyant. Abrasion resistance and temperature resistance are sufficient. It is typically used for simple docking and mooring lines or for universal applications. FSE Robline products: Albatros, Cormoran, ...

PLA Yarn
The PLA Yarn are fiber made from Poly Lactic Acid e.g. corn. There is no difference of the technical aspects to regular synthetic fibers, PLA fiber products look and feel just like regular synthetic fiber. Lactic acid is made out of natural sugar resources, which are in turn made by photosynthesis out of CO2 in plants. They are biodegradable under a specific industrial process. The material can be regarded as CO2-neutral and therefore renewable.

POLYESTER (PET)
PES has good breaking loads and a low elongation. There are both chemical and physical characteristic advantages like e.g. resistance against seawater, good abrasion resistance (in dry conditions as well as in wet conditions) and also good resistance against sunlight making PET to the most widely used material in yachting ropes. It is used as a material in the core for halyards and sheets as well as for docking and anchoring lines. In the high-tech range Polyester is used as material for the cover. The excellent characteristics of Polyester speak for it self. As Polyester sinks it can also be used for anchoring lines. For high-tech ropes it is used as a material for the cover (protection against UV-radiation) for simple it is also used in the core. FSE Robline products: Orion 300, Sirius 500, Rio, Rapallo, ...

ECO-XLF
This yarn type is entirely environmentally friendly and decomposes under industrial circumstances. A chemical reaction breaks up the carbon/carbon bonds, causing a reduction in molecular weight.A chemical reaction breaks the carbon-carbon bonds in material leading to a lowering of the molecular weight. The degradation process is initiated at the time the yarn is extruded so the yarn will totally degrade and disappear in a short timescale. The degradation will leave nothing more than water, Carbon Dioxide and a very small amount of Biomass. They are biodegradable under industrial circumstances.

POLYAMIDE (PA)
Polyamide has a high breaking load as well as high elongation. The abrasion resistance of PA is better in wet conditions than in dry conditions because it tends to take up water (up to 7%). Kept in wet conditions for too long the material can become stiff. Another disadvantage compared to Polyester is the comparably lower resistance against UV-radiation in the sunlight. Therefore PA is increasingly being replaced by Polyester. Polyamide is still widely used for docking and mooring lines and for universal applications. FSE Robline products: Palermo, ...
