Honeywell Spectra® Fiber Reinforces New Rope for Racing Sailboats

Honeywell announced that its high-strength, lightweight and low-stretch Spectra® fiber is reinforcing an innovative new yachting rope used by some of the world’s most accomplished racers.

Spectra fiber enables Yale Cordage’s new Ph.D.™ rope, used by Olympians and America’s Cup racers, to handle loads weighing several thousand pounds. Spectra fiber is an ideal fit for marine applications, as it floats and will not absorb moisture or deteriorate in harsh marine environments.

Spectra fiber, which is pound-for-pound 15 times stronger than steel, is used in an array of industrial and recreational applications, including advanced mooring lines developed for U.S. Navy vessels, lifting slings, bullet-resistant armor, hurricane-resistant panels for windows and doors, security netting, and fishing line.
