Compacted Strand stainless steel wire is designed for high performance shrouds, backstays and forestays on sailboats and yachts committed to racing or extended/performance cruising.
The dyformed compact strand structure delivers lower stretch and higher break loads per given diameter than standard 1×19 wire.
The increase in performance comfortably offsets the minimal weight increase.
2.5mm, 3mm and 4mm diameters are available in 1×7 construction ~ 5mm up to 6mm diameter is manufactured in 1×19 construction
