Description
Robline STS Ocean 5000 – The Ultimate Core
Robline STS Ocean 5000 is a performance-engineered rope designed for the most demanding rigging applications. Developed in collaboration with professional race teams and tested under the toughest conditions, it features a Dyneema SK78 core that has been heat-set, stretched, and cooled in a controlled process to deliver exceptional strength and stability. This treatment, known as Stronger Than Steel, gives the rope minimal creep, near-zero elongation, and a structural integrity that holds up under sustained load.
Its performance characteristics make STS Ocean 5000 ideal for high-load uses such as backstays, vangs, and forestays, where precision and reliability are critical. Compared to traditional steel rigging, it offers significant weight savings without compromising safety or longevity. The rope’s resistance to UV, moisture, and abrasion ensures durability in exposed environments, while its handling and spliceability make it a practical choice for both professional and recreational sailors.
Available in diameters from 2mm to 24mm, STS Ocean 5000 is sold by the metre, with standard pricing up to 12mm and custom quotes for larger sizes. Whether you’re upgrading race gear or replacing wire rigging with modern fibre, this line offers a proven, race-tested solution trusted across competitive and cruising fleets.
