FAQs
What is the difference between webbing and rope for sail ties?Webbing is often preferred over rope for sail ties because it winds better, takes up less space, and has fewer furler jams. It is also stronger and stretches less than rope, making it ideal for applications where stability is crucial.
How do I properly secure sail ties using webbing?To secure sail ties with webbing, create a loop at one end and pass the webbing around the sail. Then, thread the end through the loop and cinch tight. Finally, secure with a slipped half-hitch around the standing part.
What types of webbing are best for marine applications?For marine applications, nylon and polyester webbing are popular choices. Nylon offers high strength and elasticity, while polyester provides UV resistance and low stretch, making it suitable for rigging and sailing.
