Sheets

Sheets: We have something for every sailor

Sheets are one of the most important ropes on your sailboat, used to trim and adjust the sails depending on wind conditions. Most of our sheet ropes are made from synthetic polyester rope.

What is a sheet?

Wide range of sheets:

We offer sheets in different lengths, thicknesses, and strengths depending on the size of your boat and your own preferences. For those who want maximum strength with minimal stretch, we recommend a sheet with a Dyneema core. It is important that a sheet for your sailboat is durable and UV-treated to withstand many years on board the boat. Our sheeting lines have maximum durability and are dimensionally stable (do not change shape), enabling them to pass through multiple blocks.

Which sheeting line is suitable for my sailboat?

The winch determines the dimensions of your sheeting line. The most common thickness is usually between 8-12mm. Our tip is to check the dimensions currently used on your sailboat. If you find that thickness easy to handle, you can use the same dimensions again. However, it may be useful to know the following: a thicker sheet usually lasts longer and is also easier to handle.

Extend the life of your sheaves:

If you take care of your sheaves by, for example, washing them at 30 degrees with a gentle detergent, they can last a long time. Sheaves that have been exposed to salt water and UV radiation for a long time can lose strength and should be replaced when they start to show signs of wear.

The coarser the braiding of a sheet’s cover, the greater the proportion of durable material in the cover at the expense of a slightly thinner core. (The opposite is true for halyards, where the core is most important). The core of a sheet is braided to make the line as dimensionally stable as possible, which is important as it often passes through several blocks.
