A Dyneema soft shackle is therefore well suited to applications requiring a strong connection without a heavy metal shackle. “Rope shackle” is another name for this type of flexible shackle made from high-strength rope.Important usage informationThe LIROS XTR Soft Shackle is not certified for lifting loads or securing people.Guide: How to Choose and Use a Dyneema Soft ShackleA soft shackle is a closable shackle made from high-strength rope. It is also called a rope shackle or Dyneema shackle. On board, it can connect a sheet to a sail’s clew or secure a block. Because it has no metal bow or screw pin, it is lightweight and gentle on surfaces that could be damaged by a moving metal shackle.When is a rope shackle useful?Soft shackles are particularly useful where a connection should be light and easy to open without tools. Typical applications include sheets with spliced eyes, halyards, blocks and textile rigging components. At the clew of a headsail, a compact soft shackle may also be less likely to catch on other rigging than a large knot or metal shackle.Which size do I need?Choose the Dyneema shackle according to the expected load and its stated Safe Working Load (SWL), rather than the diameter of your sheet alone. Check the internal length as well: the shackle must fit around the components being connected and close completely. LIROS states a safety factor of 2:1 for the XTR Soft Shackle. For this product, a breaking strength of 2,000 daN corresponds to a stated SWL of 1 t.How do I close a soft shackle?Pass the open shackle through the intended eyes or around suitable fittings.Place the loop completely over the stopper knot.Pull the loop snug against the knot and check that it sits correctly.Check the connection by hand before applying load.The LIROS XTR has a blue pull tab marked with its breaking strength to make opening easier. The closure tightens under load. Do not load a soft shackle unless it is fully closed.What should I check on the fitting?Sharp edges, burrs and rough contact surfaces can damage textile fibres. Inspect the clew, eyes, blocks and other contact points before use. The shackle should sit correctly without bearing against a sharp edge or rubbing continuously against a rough surface. Check it regularly for abrasion, cut fibres and changes to the closure.Soft shackle or metal shackle?A rope shackle is useful where low weight, a soft connection and quick opening matter. A metal shackle may be more suitable if the attachment point is unsuitable for a textile connection or the application calls for a specific metal fitting. Always consider the load and the design of the complete connection.Is a soft shackle the same as a D-loop?No. “D-loop” can refer to other types of textile connector. When choosing a component, check its construction, stated load capacity and intended application. “Soft shackle”, “rope shackle” and “Dyneema shackle” describe the closable type of textile shackle shown here.Important safety informationThe LIROS XTR Soft Shackle is not certified for lifting loads or securing people. Use it only within its stated working load and with suitable, undamaged attachment points.

LIROS Slide Protect is a specially developed protective cover for extremely high-load running rigging. It is designed for use in areas where lines run through blocks, deflection points or tight radii and where maximum abrasion and cut resistance is required.The cover reliably protects the underlying sheet or line from mechanical wear, but is not suitable for use in rope clutches or on winches. Due to its low grip factor, sufficient load transmission is not possible.ApplicationsProtective cover for highly loaded running riggingProtection in areas with heavy frictionIdeal for blocks, deflection points and lead-throughsNot suitable for rope clutches or winchesFeatures & BenefitsVery low grip factor: 3Outstanding abrasion resistance under continuous loadHigh cut resistance to protect the core materialVery easy to splice thanks to hollow braid constructionMinimal impact on line handling and flexibilityTechnical DataMaterial: Dyneema® SK78, impregnatedConstruction: Hollow braidGrip factor: 3Colour: Deep black  for rope ØCover thicknessBreaking loadConstruction / Hollow braid 3 – 5 mm0.8 mm900 kg24-strand braided 5 – 10 mm0.9 mm1600 kg48-strand braided 8 – 12 mm1.4 mm2500 kg48-strand braided 14 – 22 mm1.9 mm5500 kg48-strand braided ConclusionSlide Protect by LIROS is the professional solution for sailors who want to protect their running rigging against abrasion in a targeted way.

LIROS Magic Flow 6 mm – Mainsheet for ILCA and DinghiesA 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 featuresReduced 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.Technical specificationsRecommended use: mainsheet for ILCA and suitable dinghiesDiameter: 6 mmBreaking strength: 690 daNWorking stretch: less than 7%Cover: polyesterCore: high-tenacity polypropyleneConstruction: 16-plaitColour: silver and neon orange
