LIVE: Talking Sailing with Kraken Structures (Dyneema, Synthetic RIgging)

[@knowsweat9228]

Sampson uses Amsteel - not dyneema

[@thelastpirate]

Dyneema and Amsteel are both brand names for UHMWPE. The UHMWPE is Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene. The individual fibres are very thin but incredibly long and straight and this provides UHMWPE with its strength. Lots of different rope makers(eg. Samson) buy the fibres from DSM who license dyneema, and then spin them into a braid which we know as Amsteel Blue. Amsteel blue is made from a specific type of fibre called SK75. There are other grades of dyneema too, such as sk78.

[@SteelDoesMyWill]

Hey everyone, James and Kimmie just left San Diego for adventures with friends and family out in the Glamis Sand Dunes. I finally got a chance to sit down and watch this live stream, so thanks to everyone for watching and especially all of you who donated to help Zingaro keep putting out great content! I saw in the live chat comments we didn't get to answer all the great questions, so feel free to message me on Facebook! BIG THANKS to Dave @Dvseire for moderating!

[@radekdrayco]

And yet another super informative video by Zingaro. Bookmarked video to my Sailing playlist, ready for future reference. And books mentioned, Ashley Book of Knots, Jimmy Cornell's World Cruising Routes All are now listed on my amazon for purchase.

[@tentmaran]

Very helpful, thanks to both of you. In process of making dyneema stays for our Trimaran.

[@feanor3876]

This was really informative, as someone who is learning i really appreciated it.

[@niceguy2171]

Darn, missed this, but what another EXCELLENT video! Seriously people, Dyneema is the bomb! And Luke (Kraken) is the guy when it comes to it and deadeyes and rigging...and I believe he needs to get a apprentice or two, after this he's going to need more people ;) And great advise about getting products from other sources than for 'marine' where they crank the price automatically, but don't agree when he says not to buy the whole roll..on the popular sizes, you can always use more, so if they give 40% or more, buy the whole roll! Again Dyneema is so unique, so great, you can use it in so many situations, and this from a guy who is not a expert..but is learning how to splice, it rocks! And a BIG shoutout to all the people who donated..and those that offered/donated camera equipment and a drone for them.

[@MrRourk]

Ya I hope he is ready for his shop to blow up. This is definitely the way to go.

[@jameshoiby]

Awesome video. Thanks!

[@tomjamisonfrazier]

Thanks for this🐒😇👏🎉⛵ I'm learning and this was great

[@ekampel]

Great video, very useful info

[@zacharyschweter6466]

staset vs dynema.. yes the dynema doesn't stretch, but that extra shock load due to less stretch translates into all of your deck mounted hardware/blocks. Have you ever had an issue with deck hardware ripping out due to the lack of stretch/shock absorption???

[@livingwiththemaias]

Hey Guys , sorry we didnt manage to catch you guys live ! awesome job and great info ! great looking dead eyes bye the way !!! Merry Christmas and happy holidays

[@thelastpirate]

lol. They're your deadeyes. Luke has certainly upped his game, your boat will be sick. Enjoy your time together, Luke is a great guy.

[@livingwiththemaias]

Sailing Zingaro i know , super stoked to have him coming out ! Going to have a blast . Happy holidays guys all the best for the new year😎🍾

[@vincentstouter449]

I’ve heard of Dyneema synthetic rigging but what is “PBO” synthetic rigging, a different brand or a different type? What is the UV resistance and replacement schedule of synthetic standing rigging? If the mast takes a lightning ⚡️ strike does synthetic tend to catch fire 🔥? Related lightning question: How do aluminum masts versus carbon masts fare when receiving a lightning ⚡️ hit?

[@MrRourk]

Excellent vid. Top notch stuff.

[@catboatadventures7208]

Awesome video. Please keep em coming. I really enjoy them! All the best, Jim Andersen, Cat Boat Adventures, Buzzards Bay, MA

[@csapoamedia3055]

I would love to have a dyneema rigging, but I'm not experienced in rigging unfortunately. Do you know anybody, who can do it in the south of France or Spain? My Boat is 15mx4.75m and has a furling mast.

[@vanseventy]

Here in Tampa Bay Area,the hobie cats could probably be rigged totally with Dyneema. The cables are not friendly and I think it would work great! It is a pain in the arse to pull that mast up and lock the forestay with the cable.

[@eptyr12]

Sick, dude! Thanks for this.

[@rabukan5842]

Super informative! How about dyneema vs steel for larger cat standing rigging, like a 50’ aluminum performance cruiser? I’m building one in Asia and have thought about going this route.

[@curtishyde1842]

I have a 25 foot Catalina she is a mid 80 model call rig I intend to redo this beautiful little girl the way y'all have done it would mean the world to me from both of you any help would be much appreciated

[@sailingelpulponegro230]

Do salt crystals accumulate in the dyneema and cause any damage to the fibers?

[@MichaelFischer601]

how can I get in touch with Luke? (I am not on FB ..)

[@hthring]

see you in australia

[@dougmoore9230]

Great info!

[@paulhudson4481]

The Man wears. Rossi Cap ! He is cool

[@yorukkizigeziyor]

Very beautiful 😍👍

[@justincutts9529]

Sounds great for s trailer sailer like a farrier oral corsair.

[@roderickmchardy3650]

it was a live stream !!!

[@gregrymelnechuk4791]

Because it floats, you may not want to use it for "rode around the prop"

[@Rooneycgs]

Rossi hat 👍

[@californiakayaker]

Drone Stolen ? Tell me more please.

[@knot4real]

Sew the dyneema into the luff and use an endless furler,

[@LupusMechanicus]

Not the same plastic as milk jugs not even close by a few hundred thousand g/mol hence the "ultra-high" as opposed to "high"

[@PrivateUsername]

Ok, fine, I'll buy a mermaid shirt if you are going to do quality things like this...jeez.....

[@JasVmitten]

if you had a dog you'd probably name it dyneema

[@thelastpirate]

Hahaha. Has a ring to it

[@raulmelendes7622]

Hey what happened to your girl

[@deankoch7305]

Well if nobody buys the stuff then they'll stop making it so expensive...
