We advise to do this only with core dependent ropes, that have a core of super fibres like Dyneema or Stirotex . Otherwise the breaking strength is going to be reduced too drastically.
Premium Ropes It would be useful to have an answer to the question asked. It may or not reduce the strength. Taking a genoa furling line as an example. The line size would be selected on the basis of the core diameter as that is what would be wound on to the fuller drum and is likely to be the main constraint. The element of the line with the cover on would be at the winch end for ease of handling/suitability for the winch/self tailer.
@@eHospitalmedia if you wanted to do that you could just do the whole furling line with sk78 and add a cover at the end where it goes around the winch. but a furling line for a drum doesn't have to be very high-tech, although it doesn't hurt to use a dedicated line type for a continuous line furler.
Hi! Is there a way to do this with double polyester ropes? Thanks.
