PremiumRopes DX Performance – 12mm Rope
Dependable, low-stretch rope for high-load cruising and club racing.
The PremiumRopes DX Performance – 12mm is a heavy-duty, high-quality rope designed for sailors who need reliable performance in high-load applications without the premium cost of specialist racing lines. Featuring a robust double braid construction, it combines a Dyneema® SK38 core with a durable HT Polyester cover.
What is Dyneema® SK38?
Dyneema® SK38 is a cost-effective, modern HMPE (High Modulus Polyethylene) fibre that provides the core benefits of Dyneema® technology: low stretch, high strength, and lightweight performance. While it has a slightly higher stretch and lower tensile strength compared to premium Dyneema® grades like SK78 or SK99, it is a significant upgrade over traditional polyester ropes. This makes it an ideal choice for performance cruisers and club racers who want low-stretch halyards and sheets without the additional cost of elite race rope.
The DX Performance range is available in four bold colour options — blue, green, navy, and red — to make line identification clear and simple on board.
