Samson XLS3 Yacht Braid

An upgraded version of Samson's popular XLS line, the newly metric-sized XLS3 is built for the weekend cruiser who desires optimal performance in a recreational rope. XLS3 Yacht Braid is a polyester/polyester double-braid rope which offers moderate stretch, high strength and easy handling. Samson made XLS3 stronger and more responsive than the original XLS, resulting in a better performing line.

XLS3 is ideal for the cruising sailor who desires the better performance that comes with lower stretch compared to basic running rigging lines, as well as for the cruiser/racer for certain applications. Use XLS3 as a stronger, lower stretch, more abrasion resistant product than standard yacht braids like Samson's time-honored LS rope. It remains flexible under use, is colorfast and fade resistant, and has ultraviolet protection.

Compared to the original XLS, XLS3 has been recalibrated for accurate metric sizing, with resulting slight strength and stretch differences. Accurate metric sizing improves XLS3's fit and performance with a broad range of rigging hardware.

Cruisers and day sailors should use Samson's XLS3 for – halyards, mainsheets, spinnaker sheets, jib/genoa sheets, spinnaker guys, control lines, reef lines, dinghy control lines and davits. This versatile line also has many applications outside the marine industry.

With the introduction of XLS3, Samson is also changing the way recreational marine lines are discussed by focusing on a more useful specification for sailors: Elastic Stiffness – the resistance to stretch under load. Until now, emphasis has been on the strength of a line. While strength is important, it is not indicative of what a sailor experiences during actual use. Since Samson’s rope is already stronger than sailors need, they took their cue from professional racers who look at elastic stiffness as the most meaningful measurement of responsiveness in use. Each of Samson’s new running rigging lines now list elastic stiffness as one of their specifications, allowing sailors to be more discerning in their choice of rigging lines. The higher the elastic stiffness value, the less a rope stretches in use.

CAUTION: USE OF WORKING LOADS

Because of the wide range of rope use, rope condition, exposure to the several factors affecting rope behavior, and the degree of risk to life and property involved, it is impossible to make blanket recommendations as to working loads. However, to provide guidelines, working loads are tabulated for rope in good condition with appropriate splices, in non-critical applications and under normal service conditions.

The Cordage Institute Formula for working load is:

Working load = minimum breaking strength/safety factor.

A higher working load may be selected only with expert knowledge of conditions and professional estimate of risk. Also, if the rope has not been subject to dynamic loading or other excessive use, has been inspected and found to be in good condition, is to be used in the recommended manner; if the application does not involve elevated temperatures, extended periods under load, or obvious dynamic loading (see explanation below) such as sudden drops, snubs or pickups. For all such applications and for applications involving more severe exposure conditions, or for recommendations on special applications, call Jay at 763-263-9835.

**Many uses of rope involve serious risk of injury to personnel or damage to valuable property. This danger is often obvious, as when a heavy load is supported above one or more workmen. An equally dangerous situation occurs if personnel are in line with a rope under tension. Should the rope fail, it may recoil with considerable force. Persons should be warned against the serious danger of standing in line with any rope under tension. IN ALL CASES WHERE SUCH RISKS ARE PRESENT, THERE IS ANY QUESTION ABOUT THE LOADS INVOLVED OR QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CONDITIONS OF USE, THE WORKING LOAD SHOULD BE SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCED AND THE ROPE PROPERLY INSPECTED.

DYNAMIC LOADING VOIDS NORMAL WORKING LOADS

Normal working loads are not applicable when the rope is subject to significant dynamic loading. Whenever a load is picked up, stopped, moved or swung there is an increased force due to dynamic loading. The more rapidly or suddenly such actions occur, the greater the increase will be. In extreme cases, the force put on the rope may be two, three or even more times the normal involved. Examples could be picking up a tow on a slack line or using a rope to stop a falling object. Therefore, in all such applications such as towing lines, lifelines, safety lines, climbing ropes, etc. working loads as given DO NOT APPLY .

Users should be aware that dynamic effects are greater on a low elongation rope such as polyester than on a high elongation rope such as nylon, and greater on a shorter rope than on a longer one. The working load ratios listed contain provision for very modest dynamic loads. This means, however, that when this working load has been used to select a rope, the load must be handled slowly and smoothly to minimize dynamic effects and avoid exceeding the provision for them.

EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON TENSILE STRENGTH

The tensile strength charts apply to ropes tested at normal room temperature (70°F). Ropes have lower tensile strengths at higher temperatures. 30°F (or more) lower at the boiling point of water (212°F) and continuing on down to zero strengths for nylon and polyester at 490°F and 300°F for polypropylene.

Also, continued exposure at elevated temperatures causes permanent damage. TENSILE STRENGTHS shown are average based on new ropes tested under laboratory conditions, minimum can vary by 10%.
