This core-dependent double braid consists of a braided Technora core as the strength member with a 24-Strand braided polyester cover. The cover serves to create a firm flexible rope and protects the core from external wear. Technora is known for its high strength heat resistance and low stretch. Technora also has better resistance to flex-fatigue than other high modulus aramid fibers. Cover is burgundy with your choice of red, green, blue or black tracer colors.
We use UltraTech for cruising boats that need a higher performance line without the expense of vectran or dyneema fibers. We do not strip the cover off Ultratech line because Technora fibers will degrade in sunlight.
