Future Fibres pioneered this low weight standing rigging solution in 1996. Utilising unidirectional wound fibre core, synthenticS is the next step in the evolution of metallic rigging.
Technology
Continuous winding allows the creation of a wide range of cables and strops, making this technology suitable for a variety of applications.
SynethicS cables are finished with spools or forks that are integral to the winding process. The spool can be prepared to accept either pins or soft lashing terminations. Forks are designed to suit the purpose. The geometry of the fork is designed to load the fibre evenly and transmit the load to the pin safely.
