Colligo Dux


Colligo Dux Synthetic Standing Rigging is the best value in Synthetic Rigging today for cruisers and racers alike.

See our Facebook page for more examples of the usage of Colligo Dux Rigging.

  Colligo Dux FAQ's, Click here.

See below for pricing.

  Colligo Dux is the first 12 strand line that has similar stretch characteristics to 1x19 wire rope. In fact it can easily be sized so that you have less stretch than your wire rope with a minimal windage increase.
You can have synthetic rigging for about the same price as wire.

Worried about Chafe? Loggers drag logs thru the woods with it. Toughest synthetic there is.

UV?
Best uncovered Synthetic for UV resistance. Our systems today have a replacement interval of 5-8 years in the tropics (uncovered).  Our UV study will be published here soon for more detailed info. We expect a higher number.

Creep? We know what creep is and we size for no more than 0.1 inches per year.

Easily spliceable, inspectable, 1/6 the weight of wire and,
1/3 the price of PBO!


Warning: Colligo Dux Synthetic Standing Rigging is Dyneema based and is highly dependent on end termination geometry.  Our line terminators are designed to maximize life over the long term and to get the greatest value (and life) from Colligo Dux Rigging. The data shown on this site cannot be applied to any Dyneema based lines without the use of Colligo Synthetic Systems hardware.

It's about the stretch...


2 types of stretch: Constructional and Material.

  1. Constructional stretch is about aligning the braids of a rope in a straight line with load.
  2. Material (elastic) stretch is inherent in the solid material properties.
Braided line has constructional stretch, unless you pre-stretch it at elevated temperatures which is exactly what Colligo Dux is. For low loads (as a percentage of breaking strength) Colligo Dux has almost no constructional stretch. Imagine a rigging material that you can easily splice and has low stretch properties.
