guten tag Klaus,

don't give up on textile rigging. You should try Dynex Dux for your rigging, here's a quoted (from Navtec) nutshell why:

"...If you Anneal (cook while stretching) Dyneema, you make DUX. The strength goes up by 30-40% (depending on line size) and the stretch and creep drop to almost nothing. The line still has the same great UV and abrasion resistance as Dyneema, but now you have as low stretch and high strength as PBO. The line is also lighter and it doesn't absorb water, as compared to Vectran. The other positive about DUX is that it is only slightly more expensive than Vectran or Dyneema, vs. PBO which is incredibly expensive.

The only downside to DUX is that it is quite stiff when new, and will take a few days of sailing to soften up.

Uses for DUX include: Halyards, sheets, afterguys, outhauls, strops, standing rigging and any other low stretch/high strength applications.

DUX really is the new "Super Rope.""
