Initially
designed to comply with the specific requirements of those who
sail on Olympic Class dinghies, this product has soon encountered
the favour of many crews of larger boats. Its unique composite
construction, which combines the excellent proprieties of Dyneema
and the effective grip of a particular non-slip fibre, makes this
line the perfect synthesis of lightness, strength, durability and
comfort. It is strong, it runs well through turning blocks, it
does not kink and has outstanding handling qualities. Swiftcord is
recommended for any line that is adjusted frequently by hand.

|
|
Thanks
to the excellent properties of Dyneema SK 75 and to the exclusive
HTR treatment by Gottifredi Maffioli, this rope combines
tremendous strength and extremely low stretch to the typical
lightness and reliability of Dyneema. This innovative treatment
strongly reduces the Dyneema’s tendency to creep under extreme
conditions and this makes this line perfect for any usage onboard,
including halyards, afterguys and runner tails. The performance
and the durability of this Top Performance product is furthermore
increased by the wide choice of high resistance covers given by
the GM Cover System.

|
|
Thanks
to its single braid construction and to the exclusive HTR
treatment, which emphasises the excellent mechanical properties of
the Dyneema SK 75 fibre, this top performance rope offers the best
combination of lightness, resistance and durability. Its
tremendous strength, its extremely low stretch and improved creep
stability pair with the outstanding abrasion resistance of Dyneema,
making this lightweight and waterproof rope the perfect solution
in nearly all racing applications, whose performance will last
long. The special coloured coating provides better grip and easier
handling of the rope.

Endurance is the key factor in ocean racing. That’s why Gottifredi Maffioli developed the new DSK 78 Race, the first yachting lines ever to be produced with the brand new Dyneema SK 78 fibre. This innovative material delivers significantly better stability under static loads, which results in better performance and longer life even under the most extreme conditions. Thanks to the Dyneema SK 78 core and the exclusive HTR treatment performed by Gottifredi Maffioli, DSK 78 Race guarantees not only the highest performance but also the highest longevity.
Like for all our grand prix lines, the DSK78 Race can be delivered with any of the several protection options offered by the GM Cover System: a wide range of high resistance covers that can fulfil even the most demanding requirements.

Combining
extreme performance to solid reliability has always been our
primary concern. This state of the art composite rope is the
result of our efforts to achieve such combination. It composite
core blends the extremely high strength, immeasurably low stretch
and low creep of PBO to the lightness and unmatched durability of
Dyneema SK 75. Special manufacturing techniques allow to mix the
best qualities of each fibre, making this line the ideal choice
when there is a strong need to minimize elongation. Especially in
combination with our resistant and comfy PC Cover, it is the
perfect solution for high performance halyards.

ZZ
|
|
|
This
speciality double-braid line has an extremely strong and stiff
core made of Zylon PBO fibre, which is able to deliver the highest
performance ever achieved for a yachting line. During the last
edition of the America’s Cup, PBO has been the breakthrough
material for the lowest-stretch lines, largely used for halyards
and afterguys. This high-end product is a valuable choice for
professional racers who just need the maximum performance from
their lines.

|
VZ
|
|
|
With
its pre-stretched PBO core and its resistant Dyneema cover, this
state-of-the-art rope is a valid alternative to wire and parallel
fibre systems for runners and backstays on racing boats. It is
extremely performing and easy to use. The VZ boasts the highest
modulus a braid can deliver, making it suitable for the most
critical applications. It is also very light and it can be easily
spliced, allowing great weight savings compared to the heavy and
expensive metal fittings used for parallel fibre systems.

GM
Cover System
|
|
|
The
variety of our top performance yachting lines is now largely
enlarged by an important innovation: all our high performance
double braid products may be supplied either with a Standard
Polyester Cover or with any of the high resistance sleeves of the
GM Cover System. For any specific application onboard, we
developed a specialty cover that will give the right solution to
your needs. Among the others, the revolutionary GM
Zylon Cover, entirely made of Zylon PBO, delivers
unmatched heat and abrasion resistance and supreme control.

VECTRAN
BRAID
|
|
|
The
strong 100% Vectran core delivers high strength, low stretch, and
immeasurably low creep. These excellent qualities, combined to the
low moisture absorption of this Liquid Crystal Polymer fibre, make
the Vectran Braid a very good choice for halyards, guys and
control lines. The performance and the durability of this Top
Performance product is furthermore increased by the wide choice of
high resistance covers given by the GM Cover System.

DK
50
|
|
|
Double
braid with composite core made of aramid fibres mixed with Dyneema
fibres (ultra high modulus polyethilene) and covered by a
protecteive sleeve of high tenacity polyester. The particular
construction of the core gives this line the optimal combination
of properties: lightness, high strenght, low stretch, very good
resistance to fatigue and excellent stability under constant loads.
This qualities make the DK 50 an extremely valuable and convenient
choice for halyards and guys.

T90
- POLYESTER HALYARD
|
|
|
A
careful selection of the braiding angle and of yarn twist makes
this high tenacity polyester double braid extremely easy to handle,
even after prolonged use. The particular construction of the T90
allows to achieve a perfect synchronisation of the two socks,
which is the point to realize a very performing halyard, with high
breaking strength, extremely reduced elongation and good abrasion
resistance. Furthermore, the T90 halyard can be easily spliced.

GM112
- POLYESTER SHEET
|
|
|
Thanks
to many tests, it has been possible to select the best combination
between the braiding angle and the yarn twist to optimise the
orientation of the fibres in the same direction as the axis of the
rope. This makes the GM 112 sheet extremely easy to handle and
very resistant to abrasion. Furthermore, The particular
construction of this line has been specifically designed to allow
a complete synergy between the two socks, which is the point to
realize a very performing sheet, with high breaking strength and
low elongation.
