(Inc. GST)
Control Dinghy Lines 4mm 5mm 6mm Diameter 100m
The Control Dinghy Lines 2.0 from FINELINE are built for sailors who demand precision, consistency, and reliability under pressure. Crafted with a high-strength Dyneema core and a lightweight Dyneema polypropylene cover, these lines balance minimal weight with maximum abrasion resistance—so your sheets stay true whether you’re chasing a regatta pacesetter or dialing in trim on a breezy practice day.
Precision you can feel on every move
- Diameter options on a full 100m spool: 4mm, 5mm, or 6mm to suit lightweight dinghy rigs or heavier mainsheet systems without compromising control.
- High-strength core, proven endurance: Dyneema core delivers exceptional strength with low stretch, helping you hold tuning under load from start to finish.
- Abrasion-ready cover: A protective outer layer guards against wear where lines run through blocks, cleats, and fairleads, extending service life in salt spray and sun.
- Color-coded for quick rig identification: Blue/White, Green/White, and Black/White options speed setup and reduce mistakes during complex maneuvers.
- Designed with real-world tuning in mind: Input from top sailors (including Peter Burling) translates to faster rigs and steadier handling when it matters most.

Ideal uses and practical advantages
Whether you’re setting up kite sheets, mainsheets, or other dinghy control lines, these cables deliver precision, low stretch, and dependable performance across demanding conditions. The combination of a strong Dyneema core and an abrasion-resistant outer layer keeps tension consistent and reduces fray after long regattas or back-to-back practice days. The 100m spool size means fewer reloads and more time on the water.
Care, longevity, and best practices
- Rinse after salty sessions: Flush with fresh water to remove residue and extend line life.
- Inspect regularly: Check wear points, chafe, and the outer cover; replace if damage is detected.
- Store smart: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve color and material integrity.
- Winding and handling: Wind neatly onto winches or cleats to prevent kinks and ensure smooth feeding through blocks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Fineline Advantage Dyneema Braid?
Fineline Advantage is a premium yacht braid featuring a Trosar T70 UHMWPE / Dyneema SK78 core with a 100% high-tenacity polyester cover. It delivers ultra-low stretch and massive break-load strength — 1,464 kg at just 6mm diameter. Made in Auckland, NZ.
Why choose Dyneema rope over polyester?
Dyneema offers ultra-low stretch (less than 1%) vs polyester's 3-5%. This means faster sail response, more precise trim, and better performance. Dyneema is also lighter and floats on water. The trade-off is higher cost — but for halyards and racing rigging, the performance gain is significant.
Does Fineline Advantage rope float?
Yes — the Dyneema core is lighter than water, so Fineline Advantage braid floats on the surface. This makes it easy to retrieve if dropped overboard.
