LIROS Magic Flow 6 mm – Mainsheet for ILCA and Dinghies, Silver-Neon Orange

LIROS Magic Flow 6 mm – Mainsheet for ILCA and Dinghies

A mainsheet needs to run smoothly when easing and trimming. At the same time, unwanted knots in the cockpit can interrupt a manoeuvre. The LIROS Magic Flow is designed to balance these demands: it is stiff enough to reduce knot formation, yet supple enough to run through the blocks.

LIROS developed this 6 mm mainsheet in collaboration with ILCA sailor Philipp Buhl of the German Sailing Team. Its construction makes it particularly suited to active dinghy sailing and use as an ILCA mainsheet.

Key features

• Reduced knot formation: Carefully balanced stiffness helps keep the sheet manageable in the cockpit.
• Smooth running: The rope remains flexible enough to pass through the blocks.
• Easy to handle: The abrasion-resistant polyester cover provides a comfortable grip.
• Lightweight core: According to LIROS, the high-tenacity polypropylene core does not absorb water and therefore does not gain weight when wet.
• Robust construction: 16-plait braid made using the LIROS Heat-Stretch-System.
