All the talk on the Laser site is about Dynex Dux. They heat the dynema and it increases the strength and reduces the stretch. they are talking using it for the standing rigging. I think the 4mm is good to 8800 lbs. I would have to go back to the site to confirm it. Mike VanderVaart http:

This is done very often in the racing world for weight reduction. Basically, you strip the cover off of a high-tech line like EnduraBraid or Warpspeed or your favorite Vectran cored line. I did it myself for all my halyards, but I'm funny like that. For one of my halyards, its Endurabraid with t
