Technora virtually eliminates creep or stretch and has better resistance to flexing fatigue and abrasion than other aramid fiber. Spectra is light in weight, low in stretch and has zero moisture pick-up. A firm, stiff line (softens up some over time), T-900 holds well in clutches and does not hockle or develop meat hooks as wire does. T-900 has 3 performance improvements: easy handling, weight savings aloft, extremely low stretch. Sold per foot.
Choosing Your Halyard: Did you know that rope halyards are easier to handle and significantly lighter than wire halyards. Sta-Set X is an ideal replacement for wire halyards on cruising yachts. For race boats and large cruising yachts, consider T-900.
