Filière Dy-Protec®, High-Performance Textile Guardrails
Range: Yachting & Custom Engineering "The alliance of fine watchmaking and marine safety"
Concept description: The Dy-Protec® sheathed textile spinneret redefines the concept of guardrails for prestige yachts and top-of-the-range sailing boats. Designed to replace traditional stainless-steel cable, it provides a high-level aesthetic component without compromising on safety. This complete system offers perfectly controlled elongation and a fluid feel, transforming an essential safety element into an exceptional piece of rigging.
Textile Engineering & Durability:
Technological core: A core of pre-stretched and sized Dyneema® (SK78 / SK99) fibers, guaranteeing exceptional strength and virtually zero elongation under guard tension.
Dy-Protec® shield: A special protective sheath offering superior resistance to abrasion and UV rays, while ensuring a finished appearance worthy of the finest shipyards.
Installation & Adjustment: A system designed with textile endings and integrated adjusters for quick installation and "hand" tension adjustment, with no need for complex tools.

Owner's testimonial
"As soon as I touched these dies, I was impressed by the quality. It's a work of rare precision. Day-to-day adjustment is child's play, and the tension remains perfect. No more uncontrolled stretching; with Nodus Factory, the die stays taut, which is a real guarantee of safety." > - Umberto, Owner of the sailboat Bally.
