Dynaglide Ultra Tape |
|||||||||||||||
 |
Sailors always worry about sail and line chafe; they're one of the biggest enemies on any boat. Several anti-chafe products are available, but only Dynaglide Ultra has an abrasive quality that is stronger than steel, yet it is thin enough to conform to halyards, sheets, stays, batten ends, dock lines and centerboards.
This tape has a thickness of just .165 inches, UV resistance/color in black. Available in greater thickness for heavy wear applications, such as anchor rode exits -- just call us at 800/729.9767. Available in 10 yard (30 foot) rolls in four different widths (1", 2", 3" & 4"). |

Put the slip on the competition with Teflon® rigging tape. This tape is specifically designed for marine applications. UV resistant pressure sensitive tape backed with a high temperature silicone adhesive. It is made of a tensilized film that provides higher tensile strength and lower elongation for improved performance. Put this tape anywhere you need to reduce friction. On the tuff luff so that your assymetric spinnaker sheets don’t get hung up while gybing. Turnbuckles and stays, spreader tips and batten pockets for smoother tacks and gybes in light air. 3 1/2 mils (1/1000ths of an inch) of an inch thick, total.

UHMW Polyethylene Tape for Laser Spars, etc. |

Used primarily by Laser sailors for Laser spars - class rules allow taping the plastic plugs on the Laser upper mast section to get a tighter fit and better sail shape. Traditional tapes have a limited life span and leave sticky residues. This spar tape is 1 inch wide and very thin with a self adhesive backing. Made of self-lubricating UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight) polyethylene. Wear resistant for long life. Sold in 10 foot lengths with peel away backing (enough for 2 or 3 Laser upper masts). |
