Advantage 20mm Double Braid Rope with Dyneema Core and Polyester Cover

Engineered for sailors who demand peak performance, the FINELINE Advantage 20mm double braid rope blends a lightweight Dyneema® SK78 core with a robust 100% high-tenacity polyester cover. The result is a line that stays round under load, delivers precise sail control, and resists the harsh realities of salt, sun, and abrasion season after season.

Why this rope stands out

• Low stretch, high responsiveness. The Dyneema® SK78 core minimizes elongation under load, enabling crisper control and more predictable sail shape as gusts roll through. This means fewer readjustments and steadier trim when it matters most.
• Exceptional roundness and handling. A 12-carrier core with a 24-carrier cover construction delivers remarkable roundness and smooth handling, even in crowded roping situations or when maneuvering around hardware.
• Durable, UV-smart cover. The 100% high-tenacity polyester cover provides outstanding UV resistance and abrasion protection to shield the core during long seasons on the water.
• Optional urethane coating for extended life. When chosen, a urethane layer with TiO2 particles enhances cut resistance, abrasion protection, and UV durability—ideal for hot decks and lines that frequently contact hardware.
• Versatile diameter range. Available in an 8–24 mm size spectrum, the Advantage rope fits common halyards, sheets, and control lines without compromise, supporting a wide array of rigging setups.
• Classic, dependable color. The traditional hue complements standard rigging and gear, keeping lines looking clean and consistent on deck.

Built for core tasks and real-world use

Designed for the tasks that power a sailboat, the Advantage rope excels as halyards, sheets, control lines, and the critical lines that govern your vang, reefing, furling, and downhauls. The Dyneema® SK78 core brings low creep and fast response under load, so you get steadier sail trim with fewer adjustments during changing wind conditions. The durable polyester cover protects against abrasion at block sheaves, hanks, shackles, and fittings, helping lines last longer in demanding marine environments.

Practical tips for best results

• After salt spray or exposure, rinse with fresh water to extend life and maintain performance.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat; heat can affect coating integrity if the urethane option is used.
• If you opt for the urethane coating, regularly inspect for nicks or cuts and address any wear promptly to preserve protective benefits.
• For best handling, route lines through appropriately sized sheaves and cleats designed to accommodate the 20 mm diameter.

Who benefits most

Ideal for sailors who push for dependable rigging performance without sacrificing ease of handling. Whether you’re racing, coastal cruising, or operating in challenging weather, the Advantage 20mm rope delivers predictable behavior, strong hold under load, and protection against the elements that matter most on deck.
