Dynex core is the ants pants for keel winches. No rust, fatigue and easy to splice.

"tip it"????


Tip splice.
From just in front of the clutch to the head of the sail, splice bare dyneema into the double braid.
Basically you pull the core out of the DB about 300mm from the end, join the core to the dyneema and then suck/milk the join back into the cover.
You then only end up with about 1-2m of stretchy double braid at full hoist:)
