Viper 640 Continuous Spinnaker Sheet with Eyesplices and Pennant Diameter: 5/16" (8mm) Line Options:
Our Viper 640 Spinnaker Sheets all come in a 5/16" diameter for easy handling. Our sheet is designed to be continuous with both ends luggage tagged onto a pigtail (1/8" Amsteel) which is then tied to the clew of the spinnaker; you could also luggage tag the sheet to the spinnaker if you'd prefer to have two ends instead of a continuous sheet. For the competitive racer, we recommend any of our three high performance options, as none of them absorb any water, so they remain light. They're also made with Dyneema SK-75 for top level performance with zero stretch. |
