Sheets and Guys

Jimmy Green Offer a comprehensive range of ropes suitable for use as sheets and guys. Please read the brief descriptions below to guide you to the most suitable type.
Liros Braid on Braid (Top Cruising) is manufactured to the very highest specification with a 20 plait high tensile low stretch polyester cover and a 100% high tensile low stretch polyester heat set plaited core. LIROS Braid on Braid is nonkinking, long lasting and doesn't flatten under load like Marlowbraid. It has up to 5% stretch at the breaking point.
Liros 16 plait matt (Seastar) has been designed specifically for use as sheets and guys on cruising yachts and dayboats. It's a proven allround line for cruising yachts, ideal for blue water sailing. 16 plait matt is a nonkinking, long-lasting line made from 100% polyester. It has stretch characteristics of 6% at the breaking point.
Liros Crusing dyneema (Dynamic Plus) has a slightly thinner dyneema core compared to its full racer dyneema equivilent but still has less than 2% stretch at the breaking point. This equates to weight and cost savings, making it an ideal racing sheet or halyard for cruisers and racers alike.
Liros Racer is a new type of dyneema rope with a very high breaking load and low stretch with a specially engineered 32-plait cover of high quality spin-dyed Polyester. The core is made out of the new generation dyneema fibre (SK78) designed specifically for halyards and sheets on racing yachts where high loads are present. The 32-plait, high-tenacity polyester sheath is extremely resistant to abrasion making it ideal for use with winches. It stretches less than 1.5% at the breaking point.
Jimmy Green are happy to splice your existing snap shackles onto your new sheet. Simply advise us via email or phone shortly after ordering and post them to us with a covering note. Please note that we need to be advised asap because rope orders are often spliced within hours of receipt. If you cannot see the fitting you would prefer then feel free to fill in the contact form with your request and we will endeavour to make it available.
