MASTERS OF LIGHTWEIGHT (text from Yachting World | June 2010)
Having started as a small operation in Australia, Equiplite are the masters of lightweight deck gear, specialising in DSK 75 Ultra (Dyneema) lashings. The company claim these offer significant weight reduction over other furling assemblies of the same load - typically 60 percent lower drum weight with the 1:1 and 40 percent with the 2:1 drums.
There top swivels integrate into the halyard or lock system (doing away with a halyard swivel) for minimum weight and rig damage and maximum luff lenght.
