Premier Vectran Lines by Fineline for Halyards and Fixed Load High Strength Low Stretch Sail Rigging Sold by Metre
(Inc. GST)
Premier Vectran Lines by FINELINE are built for serious sailors who demand peak performance from every sail trim and rig load. Sold by the metre, these lines fuse a high‑strength Vectran core with a rugged polyester cover to deliver reliable, predictable handling in demanding sailing environments.
At the heart of Premier Vectran Lines is a liquid crystal polymer Vectran core that delivers high tensile strength with notably low elongation under load. This is paired with a robust 100% high‑tenacity polyester cover that resists abrasion and wear, giving you a line that stands up to repeated through‑deck hardware, fairleads, and fittings. For sailors seeking extra longevity, there is an option to apply a urethane coating containing titanium dioxide particles. This coating enhances cut resistance and abrasion resistance while boosting UV protection—helping the line endure sun, salt, and chafe longer between replacements.
Why this matters on the water
- Low stretch, zero creep: maintains precise halyard tension and consistent sail shape, reducing adjustments during race or cruising passages.
- Ideal for halyards and fixed-load applications: designed to stay stable under load where predictable performance is non‑negotiable.
- Durable and UV‑resistant: the tough polyester cover plus optional UV protection keeps the line performing season after season.
- Customizable length: order by the metre to dial in exact rigging lengths for your boat configuration.

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.
