The customer's problem / challenge:

On top-of-the-range yachts, the safety line is an essential element, but it must also blend harmoniously with the overall aesthetics of the boat.

The shipyard was looking for a textile lanyard solution that would rethink the concept, providing a very high-level technical and aesthetic component, a rapid installation system to optimize production times, high abrasion resistance for durability, and above all, exemplary ease of adjustment for the end user, with perfectly controlled elongation.

The Nodus Factory Solution :

Nodus Factory Industry met this challenge by developing a custom-made Dy-Protec® sheathed textile spinneret.

This solution uses a core of Dyneema® fibers (SK78/SK99) to guarantee exceptional strength and minimal elongation.

It is protected by a Dy-Protec® sheath offering superior abrasion and UV resistance, while providing a finished, aesthetic appearance.

The system has been designed with end fittings and, where appropriate, textile adjusters (such as shackles or specific setting systems) to enable quick and easy installation on the boat deck and easy tension adjustment by the end user, without complex tools.

End User/Owner Testimonial:

"As soon as I touched these dies, I was impressed by the quality. It's rare precision work, worthy of a great watchmaker, but applied to an essential safety element. Day-to-day adjustment is child's play, and above all, the tension remains perfect. No more the uncontrolled lengthening I've experienced on other boats; with Nodus Factory, the line stays taut, a real guarantee of safety and confidence on board."
